Two days to go!
Festival tents are going up, getting lots of calls from people looking for information on the rally and the poker runs. Boomer is promising good weather! :-) Poker runs Friday & Saturday are going to be fantastic. I was riding in the front seat of a police car, yes... not the back seat, yesterday going over the Ride to Remember parade route to make sure that we have a smooth ride through town! We'll get to run red lights legally!
If you don't ride then come out & sit along the parade route, see the bikes as they go by, make banners, plaques with the names of people in your life affected by heart disease & stroke! Wear red to show your support! We depart from Green Valley Market on Rte. 2 at 4:30 pm. Parade route: Lower Malpeque Rd., North River Rd., Euston St., Brighton Rd., around Victoria Park, Kent St., Prince St. and onto Water St.. We will be escorted by the Charlottetown City Police and the RCMP will be helping us with stopping traffic on Rte. 2 to get us on our way! Thanks very much to both organizations for their support.
This event is for everyone - come down to the Seaport Centre in Charlottetown see the beautiful bike that will be there - cruisers, sport bikes and Jake Shaw's bikes of interest!

2 weeks and counting.
Good morning everyone.
It is 2 weeks until the first annual Red Island Run begins and it is really starting to sink in that this is going to happen. Plans have been really progressing well. We are excited with all the great vendors that have agreed to attend this years first event. We have everything from riding gear, parts, beauty products, insurance, custom bikes, bike dealers,jewellery, and some great Island food. The setting for the vendor village is going to be right on the waterfront in Downtown Charlottetown. First we had Regis and Kelly showing off the waterfront and now we will have a large group of bikes.
The entire weekend is going to be action packed with lots to do and see. For those wanting to see the Island, we have the Heart and Stroke Poker Runs that will take you to some great locations on PEI. In order to ensure that you get to see a good cross section of PEI, we will have a ride going east one day and west the other. Both poker runs are open so you can take whatever route you want and as much time as you like just as long as you are back in time to turn your hand in. On Saturday we will be meeting in Milton, PEI at 4:30 for the Ride to Remember parade that will be police escorted to the Seaport Centre in Charlotteown. If you are thinking of getting a new bike it will be a good time to do some test driving. The Harley Demo truck will be here offering demos of the 2011 models. They will also be putting on fashion shows throughout the weekend of all the cool clothes and riding gear they have.
For all those wanting to challenge there friends to a race, Saturday you will want to be at the Oyster Bed Raceway. At this venue you will get to time trial your bike to see what it will do in the quarter mile. After you are done you can take it right over to the Dyno and have it tested to see where you are lacking. There will also be some great demonstrations by people who do the racing all the time. Should be alot of fun.
All weekend there will be the Hub City Stunters showing off their skills. It is amazing to see these folks handle their bikes, usually on one wheel. Bob MacKay from http://www.mckayscyclecreations.com/ will be here showing off some of his latest builds. For those who do not know Bob, check out his website. He is one of Canada's top builders and is noted for many of his great bikes.
At night when you want to sit down and relax we have the best of the best performing at the Charlottetown Seaport Centre. This venue is where the cruise ships arrive in Charlottetown. It is located on the pier looking right out on the water. On Friday night we have the Vogue Optical Red Island Run Kitchen Party featuring the Chaison Family Band and Boys in the Kitchen. Both of these groups are crowd favorites and will be sure to keep things rocking until the wee hours. On Saturday night we plan on rocking the place with the KRock 105.5 RIR Rocks party. This will be the best of Rock and Roll with the Roger Jones Band followed by Joey Kitson and Big City.
This is just a few of the great things we have planned. We are certain that between the events that we have planned and all the great things our province has to offer you will not be disapointed when you get here. REmeber to keep checking out this blog as there will be many updates right up until the starting day. Hope to see you in 2 weeks.
