Guitar Ted's Ride For Jacob
To honor my son, Jacob Stevenson, who died suddenly on August 2nd, 2025 at the age of 22, I did a ride in late August of that year. Previously, my long day in the saddle ride was called the Guitar Ted Death Ride Invitational. This name no longer suited me, so the old name was dropped.
However; the intentions are nearly the same. This is now a fun day in the saddle to remember my son and, if anyone else comes along, enjoy the company of others.
Each year the ride is done and recapped on Guitar Ted Productions, I will post links here. News and notes will also be appearing here concerning this ride. If you stumbled upon this page, thanks for checking it out.
