The T.J. and Friends Foundation will host a fall ride on Halloween to benefit the foundation. The ride will meet at Chris' Junction in Elbert County (about two miles outside of Elberton on the Elbert/Hartwell Highway).

This will be a 160-mile circuit ride through all seven of the counties served by the Foundation and will be escorted by the Georgia State Patrol. A gas stop will be scheduled about half way through the ride.

Registration is set to begin at 7:30 a.m. and the riders will leave promptly at 9 a.m. and go to Hartwell first. The cost is $20.00 per person and will include lunch by Robbie King at Watson Mill Park where the ride ends.

All proceeds of this ride will benefit cancer patients in the counties of Elbert, Hart, Franklin, Madison, Oglethorpe, Wilkes, and Lincoln. The foundation has given away over $50,000 since its establishment just over one year ago.
