This is the main event that my Canadian Army Veterans Motorcycle Unit sponsors in our area. Even if you are not around here, I'd encourage everyone to be involved in their community - find a ride for a good cause in your area, take part, and have fun!

That's sweet Boar! I'll be keeping an eye out for pics!

UGH! Rain in the forecast, starting today, for unstable weather and thunderstorms this afternoon, over night, and then tomorrow morning. All day rain expected tomorrow for the ride events. Followed by 5 more days of rain in the extended forecast.

If anyone has some extra sunshine, send it my way please!

I would if I could, but we've got cloud cover, snow and sleet coming... I feel your pain!

Well, despite all the bad weather forecasts, the ride went off without any rain. Sky was gloomy and it looked bad, but it held off. Unfortunately it did result in less riders attending, but it was still a great event and it raised a good pile of money for the Veteran's Care Program.

The parents of Trooper Mark Wilson, who was killed while serving with the Canadian Forces in Afganistan, were present to lay a wreath. Also present were his widow and his two teenage sons, who also participated in the wreath ceremony. It was a very moving day.

Here are a few pics from the day:

Some good looking airbrushing there Boar, pity they are all cruisers!!

 

[BlackBoar]

Yeah, too many cruisers! One green Versys showed up, but didn't stay for long. The Red Vulcan with the great paint came all the way from St Johns Newfoundland - that's about 2,200 kms one way!!!

Ooops, I messed up a couple of my pics above via Photobucket. I have put a video together and loaded it up on Youtube (for the first time) So I hope this works...
