On Saturday, August 16, 2025, The Highground invites motorcyclists, veterans and supporters to gather at The Highground for the 25th Annual Ride to Remember.
This longstanding motorcycle ride is a celebration of honor and valor. Participants will have the opportunity to join scheduled rides through the scenic landscape of Clark County, while helping to raise funds for the organization’s vital programs that serve veterans and their families.
The day will feature three guided rides led by experienced motorcycle groups, a one hour ride from 10-11am, a two hour ride from 12-2pm and a one hour ride from 1-2pm, live music by the Hillbilly Fever Band, a generous basket raffle organized by Sue and Mary Kokosz (the “Basket Babes”), 50/50 raffles, and lunch for registered riders.
Registration opens at 9am at The Highground (W7031 Ridge Road, Neillsville). At 2:45pm, riders will embark on a final unified ride, making their way through Neillsville and back to The Highground.
The culminating ceremony begins at 3:15pm, where 100 names of fallen service members (KIA) will be read in solemn remembrance. The public is invited to enjoy the music, join in the basket raffle and attend the final ceremony at The Highground.
