Repost: 2017 Calgary Ride For Dad

This is the 11th year that BlueCircle Insurance has been a platinum sponsor of the "Calgary Motorcycle Ride for Dad" and we're looking forward to another great event with this eager and well organized crew on Saturday June 16th. 

Here is a post I did last year, following the ride.

BlueCircle was proud to be a part of the 2017 Calgary Motorcycle Ride For Dad, which by all accounts was a great success. No exact numbers at this time but kudos to the hard working Executive and volunteers who spent many, many hours of their time and a whole lot of energy to put this event together and run so smoothly. 

Here's a sampling of photos of the day and watch for a future post where I share the results of the fundraiser for prostate cancer research through the Prostate Cancer Centre.

BlueCircle gave this small cheque to Co-Chair Ron Parkinson

Lots of volunteers help this great cause

Many riders join the event to honour someone they knew that was affected by prostate cancer

Troy, from Ride Stop n Go, was riding on his new Indian

This ride is a family event

The police were there to help out, with this member riding his dual sport bike

Tina was the VIP guest of BlueCircle

Based on last years' ride, the Ride For Dad donated almost $43000 to prostate cancer research with Dr. Tarek Bismar

More police presence to help escort eh riders on to the highway

Alberta Sheriffs also play an integral role in making this event work
