It is a sight to see and a sound to hear. All of this is to show support for one man and his fight with cancer. Mitchell (mitch) Riegelhuth Is very loved, respected, and one amazing man in the community. To see everyone coming out to show their support for Mitch was incredible. thinking about how he can help raise money for those in need.

A day to set aside to honor those who are fighting right along with him. A moment to reflect on why we do what we do and really show the world that support is so much more than all the money raised. It was about several things and on that day the message was seen and heard all across the community. We would like to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to the following…

CC Biker’s 3rd Annual Meet n Greet Poker Run Annie Cross WRITER
It was early and a bright sunny day on March 27th and there we were driving to the Waffle Shoppe for the 3rd Annual CC Biker and Motorsports Meet and Greet Poker Run. We have been cooped up all winter and despite the pandemic we were determined to have this event. We got set up and the bikes started rolling in, a lot of folks enjoyed the delicious breakfast and coffee, friends were catching up and it was a good start to the day. There was a nice turn out 37 bikes showed

up ready to ride and have a great time while celebrating the ongoing success of CC Biker and Motorsports. The American Riders Group led the run, first stop was at 180 and Academy in Sanger, second stop in Visalia at Highway 63 and Road 328 then on to the final stop at Chikali Taco Shop 212 S. K Street in Tulare. The downtown area of Tulare is quiet and when the bikes started rolling in it really got everyone’s attention, the echo on the streets of the rumble was really cool. Once there everyone enjoyed
the food, the company and the much-needed fun that everyone seemed to have. The raffle was a big success, there were some really nice prizes and once again Richard Tilley has shown his love and support for the biker community by planning and hosting an event that was enjoyed by all that attended. Thank you, Richard Tilley CC Biker and Motorsports, for all you do, your thought and planning into events for others to enjoy is a shining example of your dedication to the biker community.
