Hundreds of motorcycle riders take part in the 32nd Annual Sweetheart Run which began in Auburn with a ride to Georgetown and Coloma. The event was hosted by C & E Auburn V-Twin Inc. (where the riders met) and the Gold Country Harley Riders in Auburn. The event is designed to kick off the riding season. Riders were encouraged to bring or sign Valentines cards. Valentines from the event will go to Veterans at the Reno VA Hospital, Mather VA Hospital, Auburn VA Clinic and will be included in packages being mailed to active duty service members in Afghanistan. The Sweetheart Run began 1989 with just seven riders. Last year more than 2,000 participated. Sunday, February 12, 2012. -

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "Report Abuse" link to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
