Looking for a meaningful way to enjoy a beautiful fall ride while supporting Central New York's veteran community? Ride for Clear Path returns this September, bringing motorcyclists together for a scenic ride through Onondaga and Madison Counties—all in honor of those who have served our country.

The annual event is hosted by Clear Path For Veterans in partnership with the Southern Hills Posse Motorcycle Club and will take place on Sunday, September 27, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

A Scenic Fall Ride for a Great Cause

Affectionately known simply as "The Ride," the annual event honors both past and present veterans while bringing riders and supporters together for a day of community and camaraderie.

The ride begins and ends at Clear Path for Veterans' beautiful campus in Chittenango and travels through portions of Onondaga and Madison Counties—making late September an especially picturesque time to hit the road in Central New York. The event is held rain or shine.

Registration includes coffee and donuts before the ride, the scenic motorcycle ride itself, and a barbecue lunch prepared by Clear Path's chef and culinary team following the ride.

Supporting Central New York Veterans

Beyond being a fun fall outing, Ride for Clear Path supports an organization doing important work right here in our community.

Clear Path for Veterans is a nonprofit organization serving veterans and their families through programs focused on connection, wellness, peer and family support, career services, culinary programming, and its Canine Program. Its community events and fundraisers help support these programs while creating opportunities for veterans, families, volunteers, and community members to connect.

That makes this ride about much more than motorcycles—it's an opportunity for our community to come together and show its support for the men and women who have served.
