Thousands of Choppers Take Over PCH to Support the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana

More than 1,000 expected to "Ride the Coast" on June 26, 2010

Santa Ana, CA May 19, 2010 **- More than 1,000 riders will come together on Saturday, June 26, 2010, for the 13th annual Ride the Coast charity motorcycle event that raises money for the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana. **Ride the Coast is the only police-escorted ride in California. The 70-mile ride starts at the Santa Ana Auto Mall, guides riders through the canyons of Orange County, down to the coast and ends at the Irvine Lake Blues Festival where riders can enjoy food, drink and live entertainment.

With the Los Angeles Love Ride - what was the largest one-day motorcycle event in the world -- cancelled due to the challenging economy, Ride the Coast hopes to attract even more riders this year.

The ride starts at 10 a.m. with registration at 8:30 a.m. The cost is $40 for riders and $30 for co-riders. Entrance into the Irvine Lake Blues Festival is free for registered riders/co-riders. Register at www.ridethecoast.com. Lead sponsors include: Waste Management and AT&T.; Additional sponsors include Orange Coast Magazine, S&A; Properties, Griffin Structures, C&C; Development, Gas Company, ICI Development, First American Corporation and Southern California Edison. Sponsorships are still available. Contact (714) 565-1098 for more details.
