Riders showed their support by sponsoring honorary child riders with additional donations at registration and the kids sent the motorcycles on their way out of the stadium and toward the after party at The Little Bear Saloon in Evergreen, Colo. Christi Coors of Miller-Coors Corporation and Scott Lugar of ING DIRECT were on hand in the morning to help kick off the ride, with more festivities emceed by local radio personality Bret Saunders.
