May 2 (Sunday) 28th Annual Blessing of the Bikes
The Cape Cod & Islands Chapter of the Blue Knights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (MA VI) announces that it's 28th Annual Blessing of the Bikes will be held on Sunday, May 2, 2004. Information and updates will be broadcast on PIXY 103 FM Radio. The Blessing will again be held at West Dennis Beach, with the gate opening at 9:30 AM. The Cape Cod Chapter of the Harley Owners Group (#1900) will be having a ride leaving from The Eagles Club on Cohasset Avenue in Buzzards Bay that morning, and The Eagles Club serves an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet starting at 8:00 AM. The on-site, in-place Blessing will occur at Noon, so bikes must plan on being there and parked by 11:45 AM. The participation donation is $5.00, with proceeds going to the Blue Knights to be used for charitable purposes; such as our local Meals On Wheels, Cape Cod Community College Scholarships, and COPSRUN (assisting surviving family members of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty). Refreshments will be available for purchase at the snack bar and musical entertainment is planned. In past years, up to 1,500 motorcycles traveled from every state in New England to be a part of the Blessing, with an estimated 2,000-2,250 participants in attendance. Directions to the Beach are as follows: Take Route 6 East to Exit 9A and bear right onto Route 134 South. For a scenic ride take Route 6A to Route 134 South in East Dennis and continue until you pass Route 6. Continue 2 miles to the Route 28 traffic lights, then cross Route 28 onto Swan River Road. At the end of Swan River Road, take a right onto Lower County Road and about ¾ of a mile later take a left onto Lighthouse Road. When you enter the small rotary circle, the Beach entrance is halfway around on the other side of the circle. This entrance will be for motorcycles only; cars should continue around the circle and enter the parking lot to the left of the snack bar.
