It was a milestone year for the regional Motorcycle Rad for Dad and it is a milestone year annually as well. The Windsor Motorcycle Ride for Dad was last Sunday, but an Amherstburg tradition was maintained as the first stop was at Royal Canadian Legion Fort Malden Br. 157. The Amherstburg Legion once again gave back as they presented local Ride organizers with a donation of $1,500. Royal Canadian Legion Fort Malden Br. 157 was also recognized as a gold-level sponsor. Following the stop at the Legion, the stops included the Colchester Bar & Grill and the Bourbon Tap & Grill in Belle River. “It think it went pretty well,” said local ride co-chair Shane Miles. “It looks like we have about the same as last year.” There were about 300 riders last year with at least that amount this year. The sponsors were thanked, with Miles noting contributions from Unifor Local 444, TD Bank, Thompson Manor Steak & Seafood and Thunder Road Harley Davidson, the latter being where the local Ride for Dad begins and is based out of. Dave Mathes, assistant operations officer of Ride for Dad Canada, joined the local Ride for Dad as he noted it was the 20th annual Windsor Ride for Dad and 25th anniversary of the Canada-wide Ride for Dad. The Ride for Dad in this region has attracted approximately 10,000 motorcycle riders over the 20-year timespan, Mathes said, and has raised over $1.2 million for prostate cancer treatment and awareness. Nationally, Ride for Dad has raised over $43 million for the fight against prostate cancer. Mathes added there are national incentives for fundraising including the chance to win a BMW motorcycle and a motorcycle trip through the Rockies from Renedian Motorcycle Tours. Miles said while they were happy with how Sunday’s Ride for Dad went locally, they are trying to build it back up to where it once was. He said they had upwards of 800 bikes at one point.
