Why The Idaho Patriot Thunder Ride Was Moved To July 26

The severe thunderstorms that rolled through our area were among the most intense in quite some time. Nampa and Caldwell residents suffered flooding, power outages, and broken trees. The Boise Music Festival continued on with Marshmello and other superstars rocking the mic till the very dawn.

Unfortunately, one event was postponed, not canceled, due to weather concerns. The event is about entertainment, work ethic, and patriotism. It’s an event so big they close the interstate to accommodate the number of passionate patriotic motorcycle riders.

Although the weather had improved on Sunday morning, safety is a top priority, especially when over 1,000 riders are rolling down the highway.

If you missed it, late Saturday afternoon between the massive rainstorms, the organizers issued this statement.

To our valued customers, Idaho Patriot Thunder participants, and everyone who supports High Desert Harley-Davidson,

After carefully reviewing the conditions affecting tomorrow's Idaho Patriot Thunder ride, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the event until Sunday, July 26, due to continued flooding, roadway debris, and weather concerns resulting from the recent severe storms.

The safety of our riders, volunteers, and the public will always be our top priority. While we know many have been looking forward to this event, we believe postponing is the right decision to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride for everyone.

All events and scheduled activities planned for tomorrow will take place on Sunday, July 26, at the same times. Raffle ticket sales, registrations, and all event opportunities will continue through the new event date.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding, patience, and continued support of Idaho Patriot Thunder and the military members and families this event benefits. We look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday, July 26, for a safe and memorable ride.
