Motorcycle riders come in from both North and South Carolina to make sure that these kids got at least get at least a toy for Christmas. 

This group of pictures are of the motorcycle runs done in this county. All motorcycle riders were invited to participate in this ride.  The ride starts in Saluda, NC, at the Saluda Fire Departments parking area with room for up to 800 + bikes.  They move out in parade fashion and travel down highway US-176 to pass through Tryon, NC while in route to Landrum, SC.  Having arrive in Landrum, SC, the riders turn left and go through the town of Landrum, SC crossing over Interstate 26 in route to Green Creek, NC. Once they arrived there, they then turn North on NC-9 to Mill Spring, NC.  Arriving there, the riders turn West on NC-108 to Columbus, NC, and terminate at the front steps of the Court House.  The toys were placed on the steps and wall for all to see and admire.  The column of bikers each year is about 10 miles long.  They travel at about 40 mph on the entire route in 2 by 2 fashon.

The Polk County Sheriffs office would like to thank all of the motorcycle riders that participated in this event and hope that it will only grow larger each year.
