The Automotive Aftermarket Riders Club 2025 Ride for the Future will stop in Death Valley and Yosemite National Park during its three-day motorcycle journey from Oct. 30-Nov. 1.

This annual event supports the University of the Aftermarket Foundation, which funds scholarships and educational programs to help develop the next generation of automotive and collision repair leaders.

“The AARC Ride for the Future is truly a one-of-a-kind adventure,” said Mike Mohler, executive vice president and chief purchasing officer of the Automotive Parts Services Group. “As we explore amazing places and enjoy every moment, we are also making a meaningful contribution to the University of the Aftermarket Foundation. Even if you are unable to join us, you can support the UAF Coffee Club by texting COFFEE to 53-555 and helping us invest in the next generation.” 

The scenic ride will begin at Eagle Rider Rentals and Tours in Las Vegas on Thursday, Oct. 30 with the riders heading to Bishop, California, via Death Valley. After a night in Bishop, the AARC will head to scenic Yosemite National Park before heading back to Bishop. On Nov. 1, the riders will arrive in Las Vegas in time for the start of the Aftermarket Warehouse Distributors Association conference.
