Automotive Aftermarket Riders’ Club Traverses Sequoia And Death Valley National Parks On 2017 ‘Ride For The Future’

AARC plans to donate all proceeds from donations and rider sponsorships to the foundation to fund industry scholarships and educational initiatives.

The Automotive Aftermarket Riders’ Club (AARC) is “Ridin’ the Pine and Feelin’ Fine” as the group holds its annual motorcycle ride to raise funds for the University of the Aftermarket Foundation.

The 2017 AARC Ride for the Future started from the Las Vegas Harley-Davidson dealership on Thursday, Oct. 26 and headed to Death Valley, with scenic stops along the way, including Mojave National Preserve as well as Sequoia and Death Valley National Parks. On Saturday, Oct. 28, the riders headed back to Las Vegas through Death Valley and Nevada before returning to Las Vegas.

“One of the most fun events of industry week is the AARC’s annual ‘Ride for the Future,’” said Bill Maggs, MAAP, treasurer of the University of the Aftermarket Foundation and leader of the pack. “We always have a great time and it is a chance to appreciate some of the most beautiful scenery this country has to offer.”

AARC plans to donate all proceeds from donations and rider sponsorships to the foundation to fund industry scholarships and educational initiatives.

Motorcycles were available for rent from the Las Vegas Harley-Davidson dealership.
