The Rain Didn't Ruin Russel's Ride's Parade
HUGE success! Despite riding/driving through rain until Warsaw!
115 shirts were sold to 56 people riding 23 bikes, 9 cars and 1 dune-buggy raising over $3500 for Russel's scholarship at Purdue!
Door prize winners were Ron Spyker - $15 gas card; Andy Kniller - $15 Hunter's Pup gift card and Duane Cook won the grand prize motorcycle care kit (valued at $50). Duane rode in the ride in a car so he donated the care kit back to the Ride and it was auctioned off to the highest bidder, Curt McDowell for $50!
We really enjoyed the Ride and hope the new riders did too! Look for pictures soon!

The History Behind the Ride
Russel's Ride is a memorial motorcycle ride for Russel A. Stroup, who died July 15, 2007 when the crop-dusting plane he was flying crashed. His friends organized the first ride in September 2007. Six bikes and three cars, for a total of 13 people, rode to Purdue University to eat at Russel's favorite restaurant, Hunter's Pub, and visit the campus.
Russel graduated from Purdue in 2005 with a degree in Aviation Technology. A memorial scholarship is in place there to benefit aviation students with financial needs. Proceeds from Russel's Ride go the Russel A. Stroup Memorial Scholarship at Purdue University.
The ride doubled in participants the second year and raised enough money to fund a $1000 scholarship!
This year is promising to be just as successful. We look forward to riding with you in August!
