ALSTAR: Charity Ride Update

Schedule of events:

Sat. Aug 20th/05

Show & Shine 8:00 am to 10:00 at SHOULDICE DESIGNER STONE To Barrie Speedway

Breakfast at SHOULDICE DESIGNER STONE with "Proceeds to War Amps"

Registration Fee to Join in the ALSTAR Charity Ride $10.00 which is donated to WAR AMPS

With the "Ride With Us Tour" fast approaching, I thought I would send a quick update on the overall complexion of the ALSTAR Charity Ride.

Participation in the ride is continuing to grow with lots of interest shown by other parties and the gratitude of "The War Amps".

Shouldice Designer Stone is erecting a large tent at their complex in Shallow Lake for the morning of the ride. Breakfast will be sold & served at this place to any one interested in partaking in a breakfast with all monies donated to "The War Amps".

A Show & Shine for all cars, trucks & motorcycles will be staged at this location. Radio Owen Sound has committed to being onsite with their Community Cruisers to do live radio broadcasts throughout this portion of this event.

MP Larry Miller has excepted an invitation to be in attendance of this breakfast event.

There will be administration tables set up on site & Registration for the ride and any Pledge Sheets will be taken at this point.

We will be leaving Shouldice Designer Stone starting at 10:00 am for an approximate 1 1/2 hour ride to Primrose corners for a break for all needs. The Road Captains for this "Ride With Us Tour" are the firefighter motorcycle club of the Red Knight's, Ontario Chapter 3. Groups will have to be formed, and depart at different intervals as it looks like the convoy will be too large to travel in one congregation. There are restaurants, gas stations & washrooms at this intersection in Primrose. Another Show & Shine may happen at this junction to quell the curiosity of the people from this area.

We will be leaving Primrose at 12:30 for an approximate 1 1/2 hour ride to Barrie Speedway. Again our departure may have to happen in segments as to avoid causing traffic confusion/congestion along the route.

At Barrie Speedway we will commence our ceremonies of:

(1) distributing of over fourty collected prizes by random drawing to the registered participants in the event.

(2) announcing the winner of the CRC Mfg. custom jacket to the participant with the Most Pledges

(3) donating all the collected monies to "The War Amps" with a photo shoot for publicity purposes.

(4) a BBQ & soft drinks for all registered participants of this ride.


There will be ample time in the late afternoon for anyone who has registered to stay in the Orillia/Barrie area that evening to check into their motel/hotel rooms or their campsite before the starting of the Shouldice Designer Stone ALSTAR Series races that evening.

If you have not reserved a room or a campsite for that evening, you can check out the sites on our web page under the Detailed Route & Accommodations tab. To all parties that have to make the return trip home, your trip should be in day light hours.

Once again, a huge "Thank you" to all you people that have supported the tremendous organization of "The War Amps" by either supporting this event or donating product for this event. We are in our inaugural year for this "Ride With Us Tour" and are hoping we won't be tolerating too many growing pains.

We already in the planning stages for making this a bigger and hopefully better event next year.

Drive Safe
