Half Ass Flat Ride: The Half Ass Flat Ride (HAFR) is one of the Unit’s main events and our major fundraiser. We have received many compliments on this ride in Capetown, CA. on the last full weekend in June. The HAFR is a catered three day event. We lead rides along the beach and other rides climb hills, to get great views of the Pacific Ocean from atop the grassy bluffs. We have a big raffle, enjoy a tasty dinner of Tri-Tip and local oysters, and dance to a Country Western Band on Saturday night. The 2008 HAFR (June 27-29) will be the 16th year anniversary of the event. Click here for the 2008 Flyer!
