A Ride to Remember

On a slightly drizzly morning Sept. 14, about 1,200 bikers converged on the Harley- Davidson/Buell store on Baltimore's Pulaski Highway. They had come to participate in the third annual "Ride to Remember," an hour-long trip around the Baltimore Beltway (I-695) that the store organized to raise money for the Heroes of Flight 93 Fund.

The riders collectively donated roughly $34,000; most gave at least $25.

 The money will help build and maintain a memorial in Shanksville, Pa., for the 40 passengers and crew of United Flight 93 who died Sept. 11, 2001, after terrorists took control of their plane.
