Riders began the scenic route at 10:30am from the S&S Tire’s newest location in the Hamburg shopping area of Lexington. The route took them to S&S Tire stores in Georgetown, Winchester, Richmond and back to Hamburg. Each participant received an event t-shirt, S&S Tire bandana, Valvoline goodie bag and a scorecard to tally the numbers they drew out of bags at each stop on the route. A prize was awarded to the participants with the highest and lowest scores and door prizes were awarded throughout the day. The Cruisin’ for a Cause event was supported with appearances from local celebrities, Eddie Montgomery (Montgomery Gentry), Mallory Ervin (Miss Kentucky 2009), and Officer Don (Skywatch traffic – WKYT/Clear Channel).
