SYRACUSE -- More than 300 motorcyclists are heading out on a 60-mile ride to support breast cancer research.

They left from Dinosaur BBQ around 11 am this morning.  It's the first time the race has taken place in downtown Syracuse since it was started in 2003.

The ride is expected to bring in more than $80,000 to benefit the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund.   All of the money raised will go to Upstate Medical University. Since 2002, the Baldwin Foundation has contributed more than $1.4-million to researchers at Upstate.
