The Automotive Aftermarket Riders Club will be holding its annual Ride for the Future event with stops in Death Valley and Yosemite National Park to help fundraise for the University of
the Aftermarket Foundation, according to a press release.

The three-day motorcycle journey will begin at Eagle Rider Rentals and Tours in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Oct. 30. Riders will head out to Bishop, California, via Death Valley. After a night in Bishop, the AARC will head to Yosemite National Park before heading back to Bishop. On Nov. 1, the riders will arrive in Las Vegas in time for the start of the Aftermarket Warehouse Distributors Association conference.

The annual event supports the University of the Aftermarket Foundation and its scholarships and educational programs. AARC is encouraging those willing to join them on this year’s trip, or to contribute by texting COFFEE to 53-555 to join the UAF Coffee Club.

“The AARC Ride for the Future is truly a one-of-a-kind adventure,” said Mike Mohler, executive vice president and chief purchasing officer of the Automotive Parts Services Group. “As we explore amazing places and enjoy every moment, we are also making a meaningful contribution to the University of the Aftermarket Foundation. Even if you are unable to join us, you can support the UAF Coffee Club by texting COFFEE to 53-555 and helping us invest in the next generation.”
