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.
$65,000+
Raised by PLH Riders in 2025
Every dollar goes to work across the six essential needs — and to the families of first responders.
Where the money goes
Preventing Youth Homelessness
Funds go directly toward housing, food, childcare, utilities, transportation, and medical and mental health care for young adults working toward stability.
100 Club of Central Texas
Supporting the families of first responders killed or seriously injured in the line of duty — the cause the ride was founded on in 2002.
How the weekend went
FRIDAY
BBQ and music at Star Hill Ranch
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
The Magical Mystery Ride
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
The Final Ride
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.
