We actually ran out of T-shirts because we planned on about 400 riders and were taken by surprise with the huge increase in numbers!<br \/>\n\u201cWe are ordering T-shirts for those who didn\u2019t get theirs at the ride and we\u2019ll be in touch with them. We thank everyone who took part, especially Burgi\u2019s staff, Clem\u2019s BBQ and all our sponsors who made it all possible!\u201d<br \/>\nIn spite of the huge increase in the number of riders, Hopkins said the event was orderly and, \u201cEveryone I spoke to said they had a great time and they\u2019ll be back next year!\u201d<br \/>\nAll the funds raised at the event go directly to help care for the homeless animals at the CPHS shelter.<br \/>\nJust as a reminder, CPHS has an on-going wish list for those individuals who would like to donate an item to the shelter, which can include: kitty litter, puppy and kitten food, leashes and collars, toys and treats for the animals, bleach and laundry detergent, medium-sized gloves for cleaning, old blankets and towels, copy paper, postage stamps, hand sanitizer and paper towels.<br \/>\nShelter hours are: 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. On Friday the shelter extends hours from 12:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. The shelter is closed on Wednesdays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hundreds of bikers line up at Burgi\u2019s Roundhouse as they prepare to set off on the 120-mile fundraising run on Sunday, July 1 to benefit the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society.
