Please join us in honoring a fellow employee and dear friend who passed away earlier this year. Riding on the weekends with family and friends was one of Danny Ray Biddix's favorite pastimes. If you were one of the lucky ones to have known Danny during his short time with us, come out on June 12 and enjoy a four hour ride through the mountains in his memory. All street legal vehicles are welcome to participate.
