The May Ride was created by two buddies with a common passion, riding. When Clint August and Marc Baluch bought their Harley-Davidson motorcycles over 22 years ago, they realized that, as a whole, the riding community loved two things. First was the freedom of the open road and the second was that just about every rider they met along the was were very passionate about charitable work.
During a conversation about the importance of men and women in uniform one evening Marc suggested that maybe they should organize a motorcycle ride to raise funds for our uniform service members. Clint agreed and together they organized the first “May Ride” in 2003. The first year saw but one rider and about 40 people at the after party. The second year attracted just over 60 riders and close to one hundred people at the after party. The event has grown steadily every year since with the help of a core group of great friends and wonderful volunteers who put their heats and souls into the planning process and to ensure that everyone involved has a great time while honoring our current and veteran military service members.
For several years now The May ride has over 500 riders and over 5,000 attendees at the after party. The event continues to grow as the mission statement continues to resonate with more and more folks who desire to help our San Diego County service members by raising awareness to the need to provide much needed financial assistance, they and their families to help offset the financial shortfalls that may best them from time to time. As the awareness continues to grow the live entertainment, bike events, contests and vendor participation attract more and more folks which helps to spread the message of the mission statement. Whether you ride or not, this is a festival that you will want to be a part of.
