Down For A Ride – 2026 5th Year Anniversary Party
This Sunday

Take a moment this weekend to breathe, relax, and picture it…

Sunny skies. Smooth open roads. Great food. Prizes. Laughter. Brotherhood and sisterhood.

You're on your motorcycle, wind tugging at your shirt, sun warming your skin, and nothing but good vibes ahead.

If you felt that, then you just pictured our ride this Sunday.
Be there or be square.

NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, is turning down a $250 gift basket from Wieblers Harley‑Davidson. Not your cousin who “doesn’t ride,” not the guy who insists he “never wins anything,” not even that one friend who pretends they’re above free stuff but will absolutely sn**ch that basket the second their name is called.

Hit every stop

Get that card stamped

Drop it in the box with Bill and Diane at the front door at OZ’Z

Then wait for Redhot Brian Scott to work his magic between 4:15 and 4:30

Honestly, the only person who wouldn’t like that gift basket is someone who forgot to turn in their card. And that’s on them.

What’s the best thing you’ve ever seen in one of those Harley gift baskets?

Whitey’s on 29 and Billy’s Tap have something cooking that’s hotter than a July tailgate grill.

⏰👕 LESS THAN 24 HOURS LEFT FOR T‑SHIRT REGISTRATION 👕⏰

This is not a drill. This is not a test. This is your official dad‑style reminder that if you want your FREE 5th‑Anniversary Down For A Ride shirt, you’ve got under 24 hours to register.

After that, the T‑shirt deadline will disappear faster than your socks in the dryer.

Look, we all know:

You meant to register.

You thought about registering.

You even told yourself, “I’ll do it later.”
But later is now. And now is almost gone.

Don’t be the rider who shows up on June 7th saying,
“I didn’t know the deadline was THAT soon.”
Buddy… it’s today. It’s right now. It’s practically tapping you on the shoulder.

👉 Register.
👉 Donate.
👉 Lock in that sweet, sweet shirt before it becomes a mythical creature we only speak of in legends.

Let’s ride, let’s support CIDSO, and let’s not make our future selves shake their heads at us.

Join us as we celebrate the 5th anniversary of Down for a Ride! We’re proud to support and raise awareness for families of individuals with Trisomy 21 and the amazing team at the Central Illinois Down Syndrome Organization. Bring your motorcycle, car, jeep, truck, or classic ride — if it’s got...
