Redneck Ride is back for its 9th year, but this year's event will look a little different from past rides. This year's ride will be at Morning Fresh Dairy Farm in Bellvue, CO.
The ride and backyard bash will be a family friendly event that will include live music from local band, 10 Year Echo, yard games, food and beverages for purchase, prize raffles, dairy tours and more!
Sunday, August 29 | 10:00am - 3:00pm
Morning Fresh Dairy Farm | 5821 W Co Rd 54E, Bellvue, CO 80512
For the safety of all participants, the ride itself will be contained to Morning Fresh Dairy Farm's property and riders will be able to start and stop their ride at any time.
Bring your bikes, a lawn chair or blanket and come ready to dance and have a fantastic day filled with fun to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson's.
