75 bikes out... 75 Bikes BACK!

A Great turnout for GOC Gastonia's 2025 Spring CAPA RIDE.

What an incredible day, successfully returning all 75 bikes at the end of the run without a hitch! We actually picked up a few bikers along the way too - thank you for your support and welcome to the ride. Participants had a blast, making new friends and connecting with the community.

The scenic ride unfolded on a warm to hot day, kicking off with registration and a safety briefing at Full Throttle Powersports.

Riders savored a snack at Johnny's Mexican Grill & Bar, indulged in delicious ice cream and refreshments at Redbone Willy's Trading Co, made a stop at the American Legion, and wrapped up with a mouthwatering BBQ feast prepared by our very own GOC Member, Tater, at the Double Barrel Saloon.

The evening ended with raffles with amazing prizes, including new biker leather, gear, and a stunning 65" LG Smart TV. All net proceeds from this fantastic event support the GOC Mission to combat child abuse and raise awareness.

Every year the GOC hosts CAPA Rides (Child Abuse Prevention & Awareness) and Car & Bike Shows to execute the GOC Mission

These events help raise awareness, educate the public, and raise funds to help these children get through some of the toughest times of their lives. Thank you to all those who participated, including all our sponsors and the volunteer work that made this happen. A special thanks to our sister Chapters for showing their support.

Your support is what makes this work.

Thank you.

To find out more about future events, follow us on Facebook and check out our Events page on this website to RSVP/buy tickets. This year we expect to host at least three additional events. If you missed out on this ride, don't worry - we'll have a Car & Bike Show end of May 2025! Stay tuned and ride safe!

When a child calls, we ride!
