Brock Pynes Memorial Ride

This ride honors Brock Pynes, a 19-year-old Essex County Corrections Officer who tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident last August on I-87 while merging at Exit 29 in North Hudson. Brock was not only a dedicated public servant but also someone who deeply loved Schroon Lake. He often described it as a “Hallmark town,” and it held a special place in his heart. For that reason, our entire route was planned to ensure it passes through Schroon. 

Riders will pass through Schroon Lake around 1–2 PM

Contact Kelsey Bevins for more information: KBevins@fluxdigitalvt.com or by phone at 518-477-3165.
