Uncle Joe Benson @Love Ride 24, 11/07.

 

November 10 - 11, 2007: Uncle Joe and the KLOS Cool Patrol did double duty at the 24th Annual Love Ride and the 2007 California Bike Week at the L.A. County Fairplex in Pomona. There were thousands of motorcycles, hundreds of vendor booths and dozens of activities with Jay Leno serving as the Love Ride's Grand Marshal, Gregg Allman headlining Sunday afternoon's entertainment and J.B. doing some Master Of Ceremonies work on the big stage. As always, money was raised for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and local children's charities.
