ABATE bikers in Ada
Tavern 101 hosted 50 ABATE bikers Saturday during a memorial run which began in Ada and travelled to Mt. Blanchard, Upper Sandusky, Bucyrus, and Mt. Gilead before ending the day in Marion.
Pictured among the parked motorcycles lining Main Street are Jim Elgin, CEO of ABATE in Ohio, and Lisa Barnes, co-coordinator of region 14.
ABATE stands for American Bikers Aid Toward Education. One of their projects is distributing yard signs and decals for vehicles reminding people to look out for motorcycles. The organization is a motorcycle advocacy group.
How long has ABATE been starting their memorial run in Ada? 20 years.
