Bikers and Classic Car enthusiasts will gather again to ride in support of Benedictine
Ridgely, MD – This year marks the 20th anniversary of Chrome City Ride, one of the largest rides in the state of Maryland. This annual event, which is back after a 2-year hiatus, draws more than a 1,000 riders and brings together over 2000 people to Benedictine’s Ridgely campus in support of its mission.
“Chrome City Ride has been a celebrated event for Benedictine over the years. It provides a unique occasion for the community that reaches beyond our eastern shore location to come to our Ridgley campus,” commented Scott Evans, Benedictine Executive Director. “People join us from all over Maryland in support of our mission, and our students and adults we serve look forward to the festivities every year. We are thrilled Chrome City Ride is back!”
Chrome City Ride is organized and produced by a dedicated team of volunteers, primarily from state and local law enforcement along with Benedictine staff members.
“Each year I am amazed at the support we receive in producing this event. It takes numerous individuals to coordinate the effort and I am truly grateful for the work that is done to help raise funds for Benedictine,” commented Spud Blake, event chairman. “We are happy to be able to gather again for this important event and we will be excited to hear the roar of the motorcycles as they make their way down Benedictine Lane in support of this incredible organization.”
Riders gather at designated registration points throughout Maryland which include the Outback Steakhouse in Annapolis; CPR Porsche Restoration in Easton; Rommel Harley Davidson Delmarva in Salisbury; Old Glory Harley Davidson in Laurel; Hitchcock Autoworks in Owings and the Benedictine School Campus in Ridgely.
Motorcycles, street rods, classic and custom cars are all invited to participate.
