For the first time, the popular, 24th annual Love Ride will be tied in with an entertainment event saluting a wide spectrum of motosports fans. “Tying in this year’s Love Ride 24 with California Bike Week allows us to maximize support for both,” said Oliver Shokouh, owner of Glendale Harley and founder of the Love Ride®. “Our intention is to create a destination bike event that rivals Daytona or Sturgis, while continuing to grow support for the charities assisted by our Love Ride Foundation.”
On November 11th, Annual Love Ride 24 will begin at 6:00 am when an expected 20,000 riders will finish registration while being entertained by the band “Captain Cardiac and the Coronaries”. At 9:00 am, bikers will then head north through Glendale on Brand Boulevard, then turn onto the 134 freeway to the Pomona Fairplex. There, riders will enjoy a complimentary BBQ lunch and beverages, then sit back and enjoy an afternoon of rock and blues supplied by the legendary Gregg Allman.
