The 16th Annual MPO Peter Lavery Memorial Ride is being held on

is in memory of MPO Peter J. Lavery who was killed in the line of
duty on Dec. 30, 2004 while responding to a domestic violence call.
It is an event that honors the sacrifice he made, celebrates his
life and love of motorcycling and keeps his memory alive. MPO Lavery
was an avid motorcycle rider throughout his adult life and was proud
to be selected to serve on Newington Police Department’s motorcycle
unit. More information to follow.

will be provided. We will be implementing all requirements from the
State of CT to keep our riders, volunteers and supporters safe. As
of the final days of August, 2020, we are limited to 500 people in
attendance.
Registration starts at 8:00 a.m. and the ride departs at
approximately 10:00 a.m. Riders will have a police escort throughout
the ride. Enjoy the ride, but no after ride festivities will be
offered this year. Feel free to ride on as the ride concludes.
The new 2020 T-shirts, our challenge coins, pins, bracelets, etc.
will be available for sale at Churchill Park on the day of the ride.
