The Memorial Ride returned to the streets of the Parkland on Saturday, August 13th.
Tony Shewchuk says that it was very successful and that everybody enjoyed it.
"We had roughly... eighty to a hundred bikes... We went to Rossburn, where we had the draws. They treated us like royalty there, nothing but good comments," he adds.
Shewchuk also says that they were able to help local businesses in Rossburn.
"We hit these little towns that have... [hardly any businesses]... When we roll in there... [with] two hundred people and... they make meals for $10..., everybody gets... something out of it," he adds.
According to Shewchuk, they were able to raise $5,000 through their 50/50. $3,000 was donated to the Dauphin Regional Health Centre (DRHC) and the remaining $2,000 was given back to riders who joined them in the form of draws.
John Dulewich, who organized the ride with Tony Shewchuck, says that plans are already underway for next year's event.
