The Beginning and NOW!
The Cassoday Bike Run was formed by accident in 1991. The late Gene Shannon, who lived in Cassoday Kansas and his Honda Gold Wing club decided to start their monthly ride with a breakfast at the Cassoday Cafe. Soon a few more bikers joined this ride and then some others found out and joined. Before you knew it, the Cassoday Bike Run took on a monthly, reoccurring role as the premier “ride to” breakfast event. After 33 years we are still attracting 1000’s of bikers each month, from all over the midwest.
The Cassoday Bike Run takes place in town of Cassoday Kansas. We are a private, not for profit, group that is not affiliated with the City of Cassoday. Our goal is to create and maintain a fun motorcycle event and through the sales of merchandise, give back to the local schools, the Cassoday church and projects that directly benefit the citizens of Cassoday. The attending bikers have donated thousands of dollars of school supplies and the proceeds of the sale of various items have resulted in large monetary dontations to the local church and fire house over the years.
