Marlo

Wow! I didn't mean to start any trouble! Crazy: Thanks for the info! I respect the scene here and think it's great that you guys have a forum like this to get together for rides. Although the bar is offering drink specials at 9am, I'd be willing to bet that the majority of the people who show up are there to support us and our efforts; they won't be coming to get trashed. Unfortunately, our dogs receive a "bad rap" and alot of bikers do too! Again, sorry to "stir the pot" so to speak!

FYI- I'll be attending some of the local bike nights to sell tickets. If you're interested in tickets, let me know and I'll be sure to attend one near you. (Only a couple of weeks away so I need to plan which ones I'll be at!)

No, I'm from the Eastside of Cleveland...Lake Co. to be exact!

Nope! Sorry, can't say that I do!

Hey Everyone!!! I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Marlo and although I'm not an owner of a bike (well, a motorized one anyway!), I have several family and friends who ride and I've always loved the biker community. (My brother belonged to a MC for several years and naturally I became friends with the members and even dated one for awhile!) Although my now husband and I do not have a bike, we support many of the runs and outings that my friends are involved in and we attend lots of parties and benefits sponsored by the club. I am a volunteer and board member of a non-profit group called For the Love of Pits®. Our group not only rescues "pit bull" type dogs in NE Ohio, but we also spend alot of time educating the public and politicians about responsible dog ownership and breed specific laws. Like many bikers, pit bulls get a bad rap and we're sticking up for them! So, there ya go! That's me and I look forward to meeting some of you! PS-We are hosting our very first Poker Run on Sept. 8th (see the events page for details) and we'd love to have you all there!

Rev up your engines and get ready for a doggone good time! The volunteers of For the Love of Pits® would like to invite you to attend our upcoming fundraiser on September 8, 2012. We will start out at The Handlebar in Eastlake beginning at 9am for a free breakfast buffet. The first bike out is at 12:30pm and we'll make our way to Mayfield Hts. and then onto Chesterland, Geneva and Perry. The route ends back at The Handlebar where winners will be announced at 6:00pm and we will have drink and food specials. There will also be raffles, prizes, music and games throughout the day plus we'll have some of our adoptable dogs along the route and at the after party. Tickets are $15 per bike/rider and $5 per passenger. All proceeds from this event will benefit homeless and neglected pit bulls in Northeast Ohio. Please email Marlo (marlo@fortheloveofpits.org) for more information and to purchase tickets in advance. Tickets are also available in advance at The Handle Bar on Vine St. in Eastlake and the day of the event.
