The First Rally, 2009 - Asheville, NC
After receiving so much positive interest it was decided to somehow make it a charity event. Several charities were discussed, finally choosing the Mission Children's Hospital. So on June 3, 2009 the South East Raider Rally was launched on the forum where all these guys had gotten together online, MyBikeForums.com. The date was set for August 7-9, 2009.
That first organized event drew twenty-seven Raiders, along with other bikes and riders and raised over $4,000 to benefit the Mission Children's Hospital.
