Ride 'N' Roast

Troy and Ang, our good friends at Ride Stop 'N' Go, organized a flood relief benefit ride to help out all the folks who were so drastically affected by the flooding in Southern Albert a couple of weeks ago. Riders showed up at Pop's Pub, who graciously fed and watered us before we headed off on our bikes. Ang and Troy brought out the boots, with one for the cash and the other for the arm's length draw ticket stubs, and riders pitched in what they could, while also giving themselves a chance to win some cool prizes.
Not only did Barren Culture donate a bunch of their "badass fashion for the unique" but the crew rode as well, and pitched in for the cause that way too. Also donating to the benefit was Trevor Dech and his Too Cool Motorcycle School, with a gift certificate for a m.c. training course, a great way to learn the basics and start your riding career. One of the other sponsors was One Broken Biker,  a group who do a lot of charity work on their own but still helped out and rode too!
Better Butcher was the source for the roast in Ride 'N' Roast, providing a beautiful baron of beef, which was deliciously prepared by cooks Glenn and Saralyn, along with home made baked beans and corn!
As for "The Grand Prize", Icefield Heli-Tours Canada helicopter tours put up one and Intact Insurance in partnership with Blue Circle put up the second of two seats on one of Icefield Heli-Tours Canada helicopter tours. How about a glass of champagne on the Columbia Icefields, plus a night at Chateau Canmore and some good food and good cheer at the Rose and Crown.
All those fantastic prizes offered up by generous sponors to those who came out and helping raise $2200.00 to give the Red Cross Flood Relief Fund in HIgh River. Way to go riders!!
