From a press release:

Bay Area Riders Forum and Mountain View Rotary to collaborate on: “THE RIDE FOR LIFE” June 7th, 2003

San Jose, CA — Bay Area Riders Forum (BARF), a Bay Area motorcycling organization, will be joining forces with The Mountain View Rotary Club on June 7th, 2003 to bring Bay Area Motorcyclist together to enjoy a ride from the Palo Alto Elks Lodge through the Santa Cruz mountains west of Silicon Valley and then back to a barbeque at the Palo Alto Elks Lodge picnic area. The ride will feature a Palo Alto Police escort from Gunn High School to the Lodge at the tail end of the ride.

The ride starts at 9:00 a.m.

The proceeds of this event will go to Rotary Internationals effort to eliminate Polio from the face of the Earth, an ongoing effort since 1985. The event will be $30.00 to attend the ride with participants receiving an event shirt, patch, (2) raffle tickets and food. Barbeque only will be $12.00. A raffle will be held to provide prizes to the participants. Motorcycle vendors will be on hand with displays of product and services.

Better known by its acronym BARF, Bay Area Riders Forum (founded in January 2002) began as a website with a vision – bringing the motorcycling community together; getting people out from behind the computers and together to meet and ride. BARF members, a very enthusiastic and spirited group of people, meet weekly in different locations throughout the Bay Area to socialize, meet for rides throughout the week, head to the track in masses…the list goes on. The original vision has been realized and BARF has set the bar even higher with ambitious goals for 2003 that should keep BARF an exciting place for years to come.

Mountain View Rotary has been actively serving the Mountain View community and Rotary projects worldwide since 1925. Rotary, the world’ first service club established in 1905 is continuing it’s 20 years commitment with the World Health Organization to eradicate Polio in the world by 2005. Rotary’s 1.2 million members in 163 countries have been able to immunize over 1 Billion children world wide and eliminate Polio from over 150 nations.

Bay Area Riders Forum and Mountain View Rotary are pleased to announce this event and encourage anyone interested to attend.
