Not all Bikers ride in hopes of bringing fear to those they pass by some ride because they share a mutual passion of the open road and wind blowing through their hair other ride together to help bring awareness to different causes. One such group is the Ottawa River Riders who host the annual Guide Dog Run charity motorcycle ride to benefit Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. This year the event will be help on Sunday, September 11th.
They are a non-brand specific touring club, whose motto is Friends Riding Together. The Guide Dog Run is a 200-kilometre ride through Eastern Ontario. The surprise route will not be unveiled until registration. Registration is from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. followed by the ride and an afternoon barbecue.
Riders will meet future guide and assistance dogs, tour the facilities and learn more about Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. All motorcyclists in the area are welcome to participate in the Guide Dog Run. Cost is $15 per person, which includes a score card and a barbecue ticket. All proceeds support Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.
The Guide Dog Run starts from the National Training Center of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, 4120 Rideau Valley Dr. N. in Manotick.
