We stopped by the corner of 4th/Cornell to visit with Presley. She’s selling lemonade with proceeds going to the Veteran’s Homeless Shelter. Sales go from 5-8 throughout the weekend. Presley also wants to be a police officer when she grows up!!

The 15th Annual St. Jude Children's Ride is in the books!! The weather held out and gave us a great day to ride. Thank you to everyone whether on the bike, the trike, the Jeep, the Mustang, or the pickup trucks!! We believe there were about 62 bikes and 17 vehicles. To EVERYONE below:

Crows Mill Pub
Locals Bar Pawnee IL
Edmo’s - Edinburg
Abe's Hideout, Mechanicsburg
Weebles Bar & Grill

For hosting us along the way!!

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to:
Pawnee Police Department
Edinburg IL Police Department
Edinburg IL Fire Department
Mechanicsburg Fire & EMS
Dawson Fire Department
Sherman Police Department

For blocking major roads and traffic intersections. As a public service/first responder club, we greatly appreciate our LE/FD support when its needed for a safe ride with as many bikes/vehicles. We do know that duty does call but when you are available, it makes safety easier for all!!

To our major sponsors:
104.5 WFMB, 997cvs, and Trinity Dodge in Taylorville!!!
THANK YOU!!! for your continued support of the Roughnecks MC as we do OUR part to help end childhood cancer.

THANK YOU:
To EVERY business, individual, or group that donated an item for the auction. The lead singer of Stone Cold Cowboys said we had some awesome stuff that was auctioned off. AND...to the band itself: Y'all had a great setlist!! Thank you for being apart of the fun!!

Together, we raised $17,000. We were a little short of our goal to surpass that $250K mark, but we guarantee year 16, it will be done.

Hello

We are aware that this weekend's forecast is edging on the side of rain. In the past, we had rain occur overnight into the morning BEFORE that ride was to begin. The streets were damp but that was it. That discouraged many people from participating in what an otherwise great ride that day was. The RMC Road Captain will make the call BEFORE 10:30 as to whether the 2025 St. Jude Ride is on or off.

If the Ride is canceled, we will still have the event at Weebles with the band and the live auction at 5pm AS PLANNED. If the forecasts suggest a scattered shower in the area, we will do everything in our power to avoid a route that takes us into the path of rain as the safety of every ride/passenger is taken very seriously, even if we have to stop in the middle of the road to let the rain cell pass. Please stay tuned Saturday morning for further updates.
