IT'S TIME TO LOAD UP THE MACHINES AND COME JOIN US FOR A GREAT DAY AND CAUSE!
Come join us for the first ever Ryker’s Ride for Autism. We would like to start by introducing ourselves. My name is Tyler and my wife’s name is McKayla, our son Ryker was born in September of 2014. In 2019 Ryker was diagnosed with high functioning autism/ ADHD. He has always loved anything with an engine and going fast. At the age of four he got his first 4-wheeler and by five had his first dirt bike. He has always loved riding. Last year we decided to buy a side by side so our family could all go riding together, he instantly fell in love and will ask every weekend to go riding. Ryker also has the biggest and most creative imagination; his brain never stops turning with new ideas! His interests also include Legos, drawing and playing with his brother. From drawing to just creating these super wild “inventions” we love this boy more than he will ever know. We hope his great imagination and drawing skills bring him great places in life. Therefore, we use the slogan “it’s not a disability it’s a different ability”. Autism doesn’t define who they are. Ryker is our 7-year-old son, and this ride will be in his honor along with other children and adults with autism We are partnering with The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism and the Androscoggin Valley ATV Club. This is a ride to bring awareness and acceptance to autism, all proceeds of this event will be donated to The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism to help people and families affected by autism live life to the fullest! You can find out event page here.
The trail route and map will be given at registration, so do not worry if you do not know the path. We will also have a 50/50 raffle after the ride, which will feature cool items, such as t-shirt and bumper stickers. The day will be filled with music, food, beverages, and one heck of a great time!
