Since 1991, motorcyclists have gathered to ride through Nevada City and Grass Valley and deliver food and toy donations to benefit families in need at Christmas.
“We had over 1,300 bikes show up to donate,” according to the organizers. “We had food for 400 families, and gave four toys each to well over 1000 kids.”
We joined in making a donation, and watched the festivities near our house. A video is here:
