Own a motorcycle? Ride on your own or with those in your bubble to raise money towards the training of guide dogs and assistance dogs. The Guide Dog Motorcycle Ride will take place on Sunday, September 13, 2020. Vision loss is not stopping for COVID-19 and neither is the Guide Dog Ride.
Participation – an entry fee of $20.00 that supports the Guide Dog program. On Sunday, September 13, stop by Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind in Manotick (4120 Rideau Valley Drive North) to register anytime between 8:00 am and 11:00 am and then head out for the ride. Cash, credit and debit accepted on-site. Or, to avoid the line-ups and stay even safer, register and pay in advance by phoning (613) 692-7777.
Depart on the ride from your home. The route takes you through a scenic 224 kms of Eastern Ontario. Check in at the end to find out if you won a prize. This link https://bit.ly/2YxWT7C takes you through the route.
Please respect physical distancing. To learn more about this event or Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, visit www.guidedogs.ca or phone (613) 692-7777.
The Guide Dog Ride is Ottawa’s longest running motorcycle ride, dating back to 1988.
