Wyatt Wilson Memorial Ride

Last year’s event was a tremendous success! Thanks goes out to all who participated in the ride and to all who met the riders at the park, braved the sunny weather, and enjoyed the delicious food. Dan also extends his gratitude to all of the sponsors. Without their involvement, nothing would have been possible.

Wyatt Wilson was born on April 6th, 1989. Just short of his 16th birthday, he lost the fight in his battle against cancer. While receiving treatment at Children’s Hospital in Seattle, he spent two years of his short life at the Ronald McDonald House. Wyatt’s father, Dan, has organized an annual motorcycle ride in memory of Wyatt and to give a little back to the people and organization that gave so much to both he and his son.

Many riders have asked for a longer route. Although nothing has been finalized yet, a longer route is planned from Eastside Harley Davidson in Bellevue to Flaming Geyser State Park in Black Diamond. Details will be posted on this site as soon as they become available. The start time may be moved ahead to allow for more ride time. The barbeque will still be held afterwards. Come for the ride – stay for the food!
