Each rider will receive a T-shirt with their registration. Co-riders will have to pay an additional $5 to receive a shirt.
After leaving the fire department, the first stop on the ride will be the Shop n' Save Express in Junior. Riders will then make their way to Lil Moe's in Philippi before heading to Dinnlyn's on Route 119 between Philippi and Buckhannon.
