Saeler-Solkovy Memorial Ride commemorates 15th, and final, year
PETROLIA — The sound of community was audible in the rumble of wheels as upward of 200 motorcycists revved their engines and rode out in procession from the Beer Garden in Petrolia for the Saeler-Solkovy Memorial Ride on Saturday morning.
The riders have met on the third Saturday in August for the past 15 years to honor deceased family members and friends of local motorcycle enthusiasts, notably the late Steve Saeler, Jessica Saeler and John Solkovy. This year’s ride was in special memory of Steve’s brother, Kenneth Saeler, who died in November.
The group travels along an 136-mile route that reaches into Mercer County, stopping at The Garage, Hunter’s Inn, Purple Goose and Otto’s Tavern bars along the way.
