On Sunday, July 15, 2018, Trantolo & Trantolo and TSI Harley-Davidson present the 4th Annual MDA Benefit Ride & Concert! This year, the event is heading back to Sun Valley Beach Resort in Stafford Springs, CT. The motorcycle ride starts from three satellite locations to see 38 Special and local favorite Cold Train rock the outdoor stage!

The Motorcycle Ride

Join us for Connecticut’s largest one day charity motorcycle ride! If you plan to ride with us to the concert venue, there are three motorcycle dealerships we’ll be leaving from:

About one mile from Sun Valley Beach Resort, the groups will merge and be escorted by police riders to the venue. We’re looking forward to a beautiful day for a motorcycle ride through the scenic roads of Connecticut!

The Concert

Ride, Rock & Make a DifferenceTicket holders who are not joining the motorcycle ride** can go directly to Sun Valley Beach Resort, where the gates will open at 12pm. There will be food trucks and other vendors on-site selling food and drinks.
