This increasingly popular ride will take place on Sunday, July 22, kick-starting at 11 a.m. from the Ellington dealership and finishing at Hebron Lions Fairgrounds in Hebron, Conn.

Multiple sclerosis is a potentially debilitating autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. The cause is unknown and there currently is no cure. Funds raised through chapter events, such as the MS Motorcycle Ride, ensure ongoing scientific research to find a cure and the continuation of vital programs and services offered by the chapter to more than 6,000 Connecticut residents diagnosed with MS.

Pre-registration will also be available at TSI Harley Davidson/Buell, located at 398 Somers Road in Ellington, Conn., on Saturday, July 21, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Sunday, July 22, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. There is a $20 fee for riders and a $20 fee for passengers.
