THE IRON COWBOY RIDE & EVENT UPDATES / ANNOUNCEMENTS Blue Line Unlimited Organizes Ride for First Responders
2020 RIDE TO BE HEARD Saturday, August 15th, Kent, OH
Saturday, August 1, 2020
Multiple Starting Points – All Ending at Geauga County Fairgrounds (Burton, OH) Blue Line Unlimited was founded in 2016 with the goal of providing assistance to law enforcement officers and their families in the way of benefits, training, and equipment. Since then, they have donated over $150,000 directly in the form of grants and support to those serving and in some cases the families of those we’ve lost.
Honoring Our Vietnam Veterans! MATTERS NOW MORE THAN EVER! With the ever changing guidelines and mandates from the State and the needs of those hosting, participating, and being honored by this event – American Legion Portage Post 496 and the American Legion Riders have requested to reschedule this Ride and the program to Saturday, August 15th. Even though KSU cancelled their event w/ Jane Fonda - we feel that the RIDE MUST GO ON! It was ALWAYS about the VETERANS, Not HER! So just because the University jumped at the chance to cancel the ceremony and avoid further embarrassment over their guest we feel compelled to STILL hold the event to honor our Veterans, especially those that served during the Vietnam War.

In the wake of all the current uncertainty and challenges in our country that law enforcement officers are dealing with on a daily basis, Blue Line Unlimited has organized a motorcycle run to show support and appreciation for not only law enforcement but first responders abroad including our police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, doctors, nurses, and our military both active and veteran. To kick off the ride, each of the participating counties will have their own starting points. From there, each group will journey to the Geauga County Fairgrounds in Burton, OH to celebrate our first responders. Starting points will be hosted in countries across Northeast Ohio – including Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Portage, Summit and Trumbull. The ride is $20 for each rider and includes both the ride and admission to the after event at the fairgrounds. If you pre-register by June 27th, you’ll also receive a FREE Ride T-Shirt and lunch provided by Mission BBQ - an all-American barbecue restaurant dedicated to serving first responders and military. For those who are unable to ride but would like to attend the event, a ticket option is available that includes admission to the event along with a lunch provided by Mission BBQ. You can register for the Ride at www.BlueLineUnlimited.com.
