St. Jude Rides -- Peoria to Memphis

Approximately 300 riders and passengers of the St. Jude Rides -- Peoria to Memphis bike run make their way down Highway 51 Bypass on their way to Memphis on Friday morning. The riders, coming from Peoria, Ill., made a stopover in Dyersburg on Thursday evening and were treated to a spaghetti supper by members of the Mid-South Riders, the local chapter of the Christian Motorcycle Association and several more volunteers. The bikers raised $650,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, which they were going to present to the hospital on Friday.
