Participants get dinner, pit pass, reserved parking for AMA Vintage Flat Track National Championship Series event

PICKERINGTON, OH – June 18, 2018 – Dozens of motorcyclists will participate in the Ashland Dinner Ride — an annual tradition that benefits the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame — on July 7 during AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days.

The group ride takes motorcyclists through Ohio’s scenic countryside from Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, to the historic half-mile track at the Ashland County Fairgrounds for Round 6 of the AMA Vintage Flat Track National Championship Series.

Mike and Katie Meyers ready for the 2017 Ashland Dinner Ride at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days. Katie rode her 2005 Honda CBR600 alongside her husband, Mike, on his 2004 Suzuki Beluga.

“We’ll take riders on about a 90-minute ride through the countryside and arrive at the fairgrounds in plenty of time to enjoy dinner and settle in for some great vintage flat track racing action,” said AMA Recreational Riding Manager Heather Wilson.

For a $45 donation ($40 if registered before June 30) to the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, participants may join the ride, have dinner at the track, and then move to their grandstand seats and watch a round of the AMA Vintage Flat Track National Championship Series.

Dinner ride participants also receive a pit pass to get a close-up look at the teams and racers. And riders receive special parking at the track.

Smokin’ Bros BBQ, of Mansfield, Ohio, will be catering dinner at the track.
