Thunder Roads Ohio (TRO) is proud to present the 2020 BUCKEYE THUNDER RUN - a state-wide, summer-long riding challenge with YEAR-ROUND opportunities to WIN by hitting the coolest riding destinations and events across Ohio! This is a riding challenge like no-other and features great prizes every month that you earn simply by getting out to ride and discovering new stops ALL ACROSS OHIO and the MIDWEST!
Checking in at Ride Stops! During the “off-season” most Ride Stops are simply using
digital check-ins. Which means that you check in using Facebook at the location and then post a picture of yourself there. You can include your card if convenient. Include #TRO in your comments or tag Thunder Roads Ohio in the post. If you’re not on Facebook, you can take a picture of yourself there with your ride card or motorcycle and email it to BuckeyeThunderRun@gmail.com
Checking in at TRO Tour Stops! Throughout the year, the TRO ROAD CREW will be hitting rides, rallies, bike shows, and various
events throughout the state – and beyond! In some cases the CREW will be attending national rallies and other events throughout the Midwest – including Michigan and Pennsylvania motorcycle events. Anywhere the TRO CREW is at – instantly becomes a RIDE STOP! There is a listing of Tour Stops in the magazine and online each month. You can sign in on the Ride Stop Clipboard or check in with your smart phone.
REGIONAL RIDE MAPS! First introduced in 2019, Regional Ride Maps focus on a particular area or theme and usually include 15-20 Ride Stops for riders to hit. Generally, it’s something that can be knocked out in a weekend, maybe even a single day of hard riding – or some might take a little longer, such as a trip around the state hitting microbreweries or veterans themed stops. The idea is to make a cool, fun ride that can be “completed” in a more limited amount of time. Once you hit all the stops – you simply send back the checklist, which you can easily do with your phone or old school with the mail. Either way – once we get the form and it’s verified – you’re in the running for a $500 Grand Prize and over 100 other prizes! It’s that easy!
2020 Regional Ride Maps will include – Akron / Canton area, Cleveland, Columbus, Ohio Bike Week, Geneva / Erie, Northwest Ohio & Southeastern Ohio (Email us if you’d like to recommend a stop in these areas.)
How do you Start? (It's really simple!)

Ride out to these stops and show them your card or check in with the #TRO Hashtag on social media. 5. And then you win cool prizes, including cold hard CASH!
You can request a Ride Card through our website!
You can now go online and register for your Thunder Run Ride Card through our website – www.ThunderRoadsOhio.com. Simply head to the TRO Online Store and order your Ride Card. There is a $5 convenience fee for this option – but ALL PROCEEDS are applied to our Warrior Fund, sponsoring charitable motorcycle events and organizations across Ohio. Once you have received your OHIO RIDE CARD, you
