Skip Fordyce Presents West Coast Thunder

Ride Information:

West Coast Thunder is Changing

Beginning in 2010, West Coast Thunder has partnered with KFROG radio and Soboba Casino to create a more entertaining experience for our registered participants. This year, the West Coast Thunder Parade will offer two choices. For riders that wish to go the Riverside National Cemetery, there will be an escorted, closed parade route exactly the same as year’s past. This parade will leave at 9:11 am.

For those that do not wish to go to the Riverside National Cemetery, there will be a closed, escorted route to the Soboba Casino venue. Riders who wish to take this route will continue past the Riverside National Cemetery on Van Buren Blvd. to the 215 N entrance. Riders will then be escorted by the CHP the entire route to Soboba Casino, via the 215 N, 60 E, and Gilman Springs Road. 

The after-parade festivities will be held at Soboba Casino in San Jacinto, California.  Riders that take the parade to the Riverside National Cemetery may pay their respects for as long as they would like; then depart for the Soboba Casino on an unescorted route for the festivities. Once at Soboba Casino, participants will enjoy live entertainment, food and product vendors, official event ceremonies; all culminating with a performance by Nashville Recording Star James Otto with Special Guest American Idol Finalist Danny Gokey.

Proceeds for this event will benefit the Riverside National Cemetery Support Committee.
