Jun. 1—BEMIDJI — As the American flag swayed in the breeze over the Bemidji Eagles Club parking lot, hundreds of motorcyclists gathered for the 19th annual Ride for the Troops on Sunday. This year's event marked the return of the Longest Ride route, which offered a few stops for participants before returning to the Eagles Club. Motorcyclists traveled just south of Bagley before heading to Zerkel for lunch at the Knutson Zerkel Store. From there, the ride continued to Mahnomen and Naytahwaush, making its way to the Rock Creek Store near Lake Itasca before heading back toward Bemidji. Proceeds from the event go toward area servicemen, women and families, as well as programs that provide services to veterans, a release said.
