As many of you know there were two poker runs which were designed as fundraisers for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Prince Edward Island. Thanks very much to everyone who participated, who worked on it with me and those who volunteered your time.
Friday's poker run had about 55 bikes with an additional 15 passengers. The winner of this poker run wishes to remain anonymous and kindly donated the $100 prize money back to the Foundation. Thanks!
Saturday's poker run had approximately 214 bikes with around 55 additional passengers! Great turn out and thank you to everyone for your patience waiting in the line ups at registration and at some of the locations for cards. Something to improve on next year. The winner of Saturday's poker run was Jack MacKenzie from PEI. Congrats Jack - he was very excited!
The Ride to Remember tribute ride was amazing! Estimates are between 250 & 400 bikes. Someone said that they stopped counting after 300. It was great to see people standing on the side of the road waving at the bikes as they rode by. For those of you that purchased bandanas - thank you. Wear them with pride as they represent those in our lives who have been affected by heart disease and stroke.
Ride safe for the rest of the season and hope to see you back next year.
