It was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Hit play on the video below….
Riders came in from across the country. Motor officers from agencies all over Central Texas rode escort. Volunteers, sponsors, and families filled out the rest of the crowd you see above — and every one of them was there for the same reason.
More from the weekend is on the way. In the meantime, the video tells it better than we can.

A little bit about the event…
The Peace, Love and Happiness Event was conceived in 2002 while two bikers were riding through the Texas Hill Country. During a pit-stop at Poodies Hill Top, John Paul Dejoria and Gary Spellman decided to take a stand after hearing how horribly an Austin Police Officer was being criticized for risking his life to save another. That day, Peace*Love*Happiness was born.
They would go on to create an event that helped and supported the families of fallen peace officers and any and all abused and neglected children.
This event raises more than $50,000 for The Club each year.
The 23rd Annual PLH Ride is in the books. A large group of free-spirited — and caring — PLHers dedicated the weekend to the PLH Charity and its mission of preventing homelessness one young adult at a time, while also supporting the Texas 100 Club of Central Texas.
Raised by PLH Riders in 2025
Every dollar goes to work across the six essential needs — and to the families of first responders.
Funds go directly toward housing, food, childcare, utilities, transportation, and medical and mental health care for young adults working toward stability.
Supporting the families of first responders killed or seriously injured in the line of duty — the cause the ride was founded on in 2002.
FRIDAY
Everyone gathered at Star Hill Ranch for BBQ and music. The food was provided by Verde’s Mexican Parrilla, JP’s Bandero tequila flowed freely all evening, and the musical guests included Dakota Spellman.
SATURDAY
A rumbling pack of bikes departed the Sonesta Hotel in Bee Cave for the “Magical Mystery Ride.” Ride Captain Joe P. led the pack through the backroads of the beautiful Texas Hill Country, ending up at Reveille Peak Ranch. There the group was briefed by Sheepdog Response instructors before a supervised session at the range — about the highest level of professional supervision on the planet, and a perfect way to blow off some steam. The four-hour ride wrapped at the inimitable Poodie’s Roadhouse for beers, burgers, and music.
SUNDAY
An even larger pack of beautiful bikes started again at the Sonesta, this time escorted by fifteen or so Travis County Sheriff motorcycle officers. After a couple of hours of great riding in gorgeous weather, the day ended at Verde’s for more good times and good food.
