Ride to support ’23 Grand Prix

With the revitalized Florence Grand Prix just days behind them, race organizers already have planned a fundraiser ride for next year’s Grand Prix.

A June 18 dual sport ride will begin with breakfast from 7 to 8 a.m. at Florence’s Masonic Lodge Breakfast will cost $10. The race, beginning at 8:30 a.m., will be led by Eric Moore, who won the 125cc class.

The ride will travel 80 to 120 miles through the Flint Hills on dirt, gravel, two path roads and open range. Top speed will be 35 to 40 mph. Riders of all legal ages and experience will be welcome. Cost is $10 per rider with proceeds going toward the 2023 Florence Grand Prix. The ride is “weather permitting.” Riders will not be going through mud.
