Ready To Ride: B.A.D. Ride 10 Hits The Road This Sunday
With an excellent Victoria Day weekend behind us, I think we can
safely say summer -- and the season when even our fair weather
riders ride -- has arrived. And that means the B.A.D. Ride hits
the road starting at the AMC Theatres at Interchange Way (Highways
400 & 7) this coming Sunday! The B.A.D. Ride team has worked for
the past 9 months with one objective: making the 10th edition of
the B.A.D. Ride the most memorable one yet.
WE'VE CHECKED THE ROUTE AND IT'S JUST GOOD!
Last Sunday, members of the B.A.D. Team together with volunteers
from the Brampton Motorcycle Association (who will be working at
the B.A.D. Ride) met for a dry run of the B.A.D. Ride, stopping at
Hockley Village for comfort and refreshments, and then on to
Exhibition Place. This way, the B.A.D. Team does a final check of
the route and makes whatever adjustments are necessary to our
parking and riding plans, and this year there weren't any. So,
we're ready, but are you?
When you arrive at the AMC Theatres at Interchange Way, once you
park your bikes, make sure to make your way first to the
registration tables to pick up your gift bag, incentive gifts, meal
ticket and draw tickets (if you've already pre-registered) or to
register and receive your rider's package. Once registered, you'll
be able to enjoy the complimentary continental style breakfast
while listening to Erin McCallum and Road Trip and checking out the
bikes and bikers as they arrive. After the opening ceremonies
hosted by John Derringer are completed and the Ride begins to roll
out, be ready for what we think will be an exciting and inspiring
send off for every rider -- so be sure follow the directions you're
given when departing.
LATE BREAKING NEWS:
DARCY TUCKER HAS CONFIRMED HE'LL BE AT THE B.A.D RIDE
We've just heard from Darcy Tucker who tells us he'll be joining us
at the B.A.D. Ride on Sunday. He's not yet sure whether he'll be
showing up in the morning at the AMC Theatres or in the afternoon
at the Riders' Party at the CNE. He told us he can't commit to be
with us for the entire day, but is looking forward to being a part
of the B.A.D. Ride, either in the morning or afternoon, depending
on his other responsibilities, to demonstrate his support for
Distress Centres and the work its volunteers do in our community.
Despite the disappointment of having the Maple Leafs end their
season early, we're thrilled about the silver lining to that dark
cloud -- that is, that Darcy will be with us Sunday.
SILVER DOLLAR BIKER BLUES AND BARBECUE
THURSDAY EVENING MAY 24TH
We're all focused on this coming Sunday and the actual Ride, but,
don't overlook what is always a great way to get into the spirit of
the Ride - the B.A.D. Ride Kickoff Party at the Silver Dollar Room,
where we'll have an evening devoted to biker blues and barbecue,
with Michael White of Q107's House Band taking the stage unplugged
with some of his good buddies and a couple of special guests.
This is the week of the B.A.D. Ride so get ready by joining other
riders and members of the B.A.D. Team for the Kick Off Party at the
Silver Dollar Room, 486 Spadina Ave. (west side, just north of
College St.) for an evening of great music, super food, biker talk,
and great fun. We'll also be previewing our B.A.D.wear at the
Silver Dollar, so if you want to be one of the first to pick up a
B.A.D. Ride collector Tee, join us that evening, or, if you'd
prefer, wait for the Riders' Party at Exhibition Place on Sunday
afternoon .
And, you can pre-register for the B.A.D. Ride at the Silver Dollar
that evening -- bring in your registration form and donations,
pre-register and you'll pick up one extra draw ticket for the grand
prize Harley-Davidson Street Glide.
AN APOLOGY FROM THE B.A.D. TEAM & ITS WEB MONKEY
Some of you may have been receiving duplicate newsletters in your
e-mail. Our web monkey ]{evin has been aware of the problem and
thought he had it solved when we issued Vol. 6, No. 5 of our B.A.D.
News. Well, when Vol. 6, No. 6 was distributed earlier this week,
the same error occurred and duplicate e-mails were received my many
of our subscribers.
We apologize because we know getting duplicate e-mails is annoying.
We do NOT provide our subscription list to anyone and respect your
privacy and your desire to be free of e-mail clutter. ]{evin
continues to work on the problem, trying to track down where the
flaw arises, so please bear with us. In the interim, if you get
two identical newsletters from us, just delete the second one!
We at the B.A.D. Team look forward to seeing you at the Silver
Dollar Room this coming Thursday evening and, more importantly, at
the AMC Theatres at Interchange Way on Sunday morning when the very
special 10th edition of the B.A.D. Ride hits the road.
