On Sunday, July 25, 2010 five bikes and eight riders met at the Goodtimes Center (motorcycle dealer) in the west end of Ottawa. We were there to support the Military Police National Motorcycle Relay Ride which will start in Comox, BC on August 17th and terminate in St. John"s, Nfld on September 10, 2010. They held a BBQ along with the sale of hats, pins, t-shirts etc in oder to raise funds for two charities that the ride will sponsor. The charities are the Military Police Fund for Blind Children and the Wounded Warrior Fund. One of the main co-ordinators of the ride is Wayne Kendall who has just applied to join our chapter. He will also travel the full distance of this ride. It will pass through the Ottawa area at the end of August where we will join them on that segment of the ride.
After the BBQ with planned and departed for an impromtu ride which took us to the Champlain Lookout in Gatineau Park, along the east side of the Ottawa river to Quyon, Quebec, crossing the ferry to Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario. Chapter members peeled off along the way, heading back to their respective homes. It was an enjoyable day for a worthy cause.
