Main St., in Fredericksburg before heading to Luckenbach for the after party.

Several Lakeway police officers and other Central Texas law enforcement are scheduled to ride.

“This will be an exciting ride through the Hill Country with some of our finest,” Lakeway Police Chief Todd Radford said. “This is an inaugural event, so we hope to see a lot of public participation. We look forward to this becoming an ongoing event.”
