Blue Circle is a very proud sponsor of the Calgary Motorcycle Ride For Dad, which took place this past Saturday. It had been a rainy, wet week and Friday was no exception but it was clear skies and sunshine as we all assembled at Deerfoot Mall to start the ride.
We had a few less bikes than last year, maybe due to the potential of rain, but iur riders were a happy and enthusiastic bunch and it was a fantastic day.
Many, many thanks to the RFD Executive who worked hard all year long to put this important event together and contribute so greatly to the Prostate Cancer Centre. Also, many thanks to the 100 + volunteers who spent part of their Friday and Saturday registering the riders, manning the poker stops and helping with the BBQ at Springbank.
