The motorcycle ride registration begins at 9 a.m. at CJ Chrome & Cycle, 6770 N. Michigan St., Plymouth.
CJ Chrome & Cycle will provide coffee and donuts. A brief riders’ meeting will be held at 9:45 a.m.
Riders will leave CJ Chrome beginning at 10 a.m. and travel throughout Marshall County on a 62-mile route. 
Last year, 90 motorcycles with 130 total riders rode through LaPaz, Bre-men, Bourbon, Argos, Culver and Plymouth to raise awareness for the United Way of Marshall County. 
This year’s route, again starting at CJ Chrome & Cycle, will travel north on Michigan, west on 6A road, northwest on Plymouth-LaPorte Trail, north on Tamarack, east on U.S. 6 and then 106 through Bremen, south on S.R. 331 with a stop at Journey’s End in Bourbon.
The ride will continue south until turning east on S.R. 10 to Argos, then south on Michigan Road to S.R. 110 then east to Culver, north on S.R. 17 past Mystic Hills Golf Course, Lake Maxinkuckee and Culver Academies.
“We will continue riding north on 17 through Burr Oak, turning east on 12th road, then north on Nutmeg, west on Glen Overmyer and northeast on 17 again to the Moose Family Center in Plymouth, where the ride will end,” Maddox said. “Pizzas donated by Papa’s in Culver will be served. In addition, there will be other food items, music, a cash bar, door prizes, and a silent auction.”
Each participant will receive a United Way T-shirt.
Admission is $25 per pilot (driver) and $10 per co-pilot (passenger).  Non-riders can join the group for lunch at the Moose Family Center at 1 p.m. at a cost of $5 per person. This is a family friendly event — children are welcome.
Again this year, United Way leadership will ride with founder and event chair Cindy Rash. Those riding include: Maddox, Vickie Talcott, 2007-08 Board President; Ed Ruiz, 2008 Campaign Chair; and Brad Serf, 2007 Campaign Chair.
Rash originated the annual awareness ride following her tenure on the United Way board. 
“I love the ride and the people who come out to support United Way.  I have a passion for United Way and want to spread the word about all the good United Way does in Marshall County!”
Maddox added “This is a great way for us to let the public know about the mission of the United Way campaign and those who benefit from the community donations.”
