I'm not completely sure of the specifics, but here is a rundown of the event from 2007:

Makris Honored in New Event

By KRISTA MARRS
The Citizen of Laconia

LACONIA - In honor of a man who loved motorcycles and spending time with his family at the waters edge, the Naswa Resort will hold the inaugural Peter Makris Memorial Ride & Run this Saturday.

The memorial ride around Lake Winnipesaukee will not only celebrate the life of Naswa's patriarch, Makris, but it will also serve as a fundraiser for the Laconia Fire Department's Life Saving Fund and Water Rescue Teams.

Makris, the father figure of the third-generation, family-run Naswa Resort, was a true lover of "the ride" and could often be seen driving around The Weirs and throughout Laconia on his trike motorcycle, sporting the colors of the New Hampshire Leathernecks.

Makris died at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dana Farber Ward in Boston on Feb. 4 at the age of 82.

Known as "The Golden Greek," Makris served as Belknap County Attorney and a Laconia Ward 6 City Councilor and he was active in Republican politics, but also remained a devoted family man.

The event in his honor will kick off between 10 and 11 a.m. on Saturday as motorcycles and boats will meet at the Naswa, located at 1086 Weirs Boulevard. There participants will receive arm bands, T-shirts, coffee and a Danish.

Participants may sign up at the Naswa Resort, Manchester and Nashua Harley-Davidson and online at www.naswa.com.

From 11:15 and to 1:15 p.m., boats will "run" to the Alton Bay Band Stand to pick up a memento and return to the Naswa. Bikers then will ride around Lake Winnipesaukee, Meredith, Alton, and Gilford with a police escort with a 1:30 p.m. return to the Naswa Beach Bar for live entertainment, prize drawings and plenty of fun.

There also will be a Bike & Boat show and Fire Brigade Bagpipers.

I wonder if they might have dropped the boat part of this ride?

Hey Rob. About one month away and both the website and the naswa site doesn't have any information regarding the "boating" portion of the run. Anyone have the details? Start time? Costs? Stops? Prizes?

It's a great cause. Where bikers meet boaters!

It does sound like fun and for a great cause, but still need the details and how it is to be run.
