  The American Red Cross of Summit and Portage Counties invites all motorcycle enthusiasts in the Northeast Ohio area to get together on Sunday, September 13 for its 7th Annual RIDE FOR THE RED.
Participants can join the 40-mile ride through the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley (Map )or simply rally at Akron’s Lock 3 afterward for a fun-filled afternoon of good food and good music. Proceeds from the Ride for the Red event will benefit local Red Cross services.
This year’s Ride for the Red will begin at Liberty Harley-Davidson in Boston Heights (Map ) with event registration at 11:00 a.m. The ride kicks off at 1:00 p.m. for a rambling tour through the picturesque back roads of the Cuyahoga Valley. Riders can also get an earlier start by joining rallies that originate at several satellite start locations beginning at 11:00 am. These satellite rallies will link up at Liberty Harley-Davidson at Noon for a grand ride by all participants at 1:00 pm.
