Fallen Riders Memorial Ride July 12, 2008

Fallen Riders Memorial Charity Ride was our first fundraising event held in remembrance of Mark Wynnyk and other fallen riders . Despite a forecast of thunderstorms and hot and steamy temperatures, there were 65 registered for the 180 km route through scenic Halton and Halton Hills. Riders met at Burlington Cycle for a light breakfast before heading out on the route. A special thank you to Emerson Connor Racing, Bronko's, Stoney Creek Choppers, RPM, Lost Boys Inc. and Motorcycle Enhancements for coming out and supporting the event with awesome displays at the Royal Canadian Legion, Acton. Riders enjoyed a barbeque lunch provided by M & M Meats.

The route shifted south from Acton through Waterdown and riders caught the thrill of the curves on Snake Rd winding through Hidden Valley Park en route to their final destination, Barangas on the Beach. Thanks to everyone that participated and supported this event through their volunteer efforts, sponsorships and pledges. Over $11,000 was raised in support of skills development programs for at risk and disadvantaged children and youth of Burlington.
