"Rally 2 the Ranch" motorcycle/automobile ride to shine a light into the darkness of addiction"
This is the 6th annual Rally 2 the Ranch run!
June 1st @ 10am kick stands up, in front of the old Rock pizzeria behind Northway Mall Anchorage (9:30 meet and greet with COFFEE and DOUGHNUTS), then the adventure begins to Nugen's Ranch. It will be ending about 1PM, with stops at Denali Harley Davidson, Matsu Alano Club, and KGB Three Bears of Alaska (for gas) along the way.
Midnight Son Riders chapter- 801 of Christian Motorcyclists Association, and Second To None MC hold the event to help bring awareness and "funding" to the recovery that's needed from the rampant abuse of drugs and alcohol in our community. Nugen's Ranch is one of Alaska’s only adult recovery "long term" centers we have. It's a terrific facility located at the end of KGB road
toward Point Mackenzie, outside of Wasilla.
Nugen's Ranch puts on an open house fun day, that the whole community is invited to, and our rally ends at the ranch – just in time to enjoy their festivities.
We in the motorcycle community have seen the hardships that drugs and alcohol can cause to families first hand. We hold this event to show the recovery that's possible from addiction to the community – by putting on the run every year and getting the public involved by joining us for an awesome ride out to the Ranch, to enjoy the fun, and food the ranch provides "free of charge," to all that show… That way, people who want to find out more about the recovery process that happens out there can get the firsthand information.
Come join us for a fun time that all will enjoy. You don't actually need a motorcycle, just follow us out on our ride from Northway mall to Nugen's Ranch or just join in at one of the stops along the way, after signing a release form.
(times and stops are on the flyer provided in the article on our Facebook site). Please help "SHINE A LIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS OF ADDICTION!"
To participate, all riders/drivers MUST sign a release form, verifying they are taking their own responsibility for themselves and any passengers to, in and from the event, and also that they are an insured licensed rider/driver, operating a legal, roadworthy vehicle.
