The 15th Annual Green Ridge Dual Sport/Adventure Wild Bill Memorial Ride

The Event

Previously titled "Green Ridge Dual Sport/Adventure Ride", The Wild Bill Memorial ride is the same event with a mere title change to honor the event founder, Bill Menges, who passed in 2022. His enthusiasm and passion for motorcycles were evident in his life and we are honored to be able to continue to host this event for all those that share in that passion. Come join us!
