Hundreds of motorcycle riders traveled from Visalia to Millerton Lake Saturday to support the families of fallen police officers and deputies.

This was the eleventh year for the ride.

Close to 800 riders made the trip to honor those who died in the line of duty including Tulare Sheriff's Deputy Jeremy Meyst who died in a traffic accident Christmas eve when he was transporting prisoners.

The ride is a fundraiser for the survivors left behind.

"They have promised and dedicated a round trip ticket for the family to go to the big memorial in Washington for the fallen officers," said Jim Bricco, rider and friend of Meyst family.

Last year, ten officers were killed in the line of duty in California.
