May. 12, 2011
An entire herd of steel horses made its way through Garrett County on Monday. The group is involved in the 2011 Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America, which raises funds and awareness for Victory Junction and other children’s charities that support chronically ill children. This year marks the 17th ride for the group, which includes Petty and about 175 other riders. While the trek usually runs from west to east across the U.S., this year a different route was chosen. The trip began in Lake Placid, N.Y. on Saturday, May 7, and will conclude on Amelia Island, Fla., this Saturday, May 14. The group made a scheduled stop at Pilot in Grantsville on Monday to get fuel and meet with fans, before traveling through Oakland. See additional photos on the back page of this section.
