Oro Guy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 This year marks the 2nd annual Snowmobile Ride for Dad event taking place in Orillia. Last year we were unable to actually ride because we lacked snow but still managed to raise $4000. This year we hope winter will return and make for a great event with lots of money raised for a prostate cancer! Where: Orillia ON. Meet at the Mariposa Best Western Inn on Memorial Avenue. (Located on trail B112B, lots of parking for trucks/trailers) When: Saturday, Feb. 9, 2013 Time: Registration will begin around 8am with ride starting at 10am How long of a ride: We plan on a 4-5 hour ride through the Orillia area and District 8 trails. We will have members of the OPP Save Team help us as we parade through town on the B112B trail while we ride to Lake Couchiching We have many local businesses that have sponsored us with cash donations towards the event so far!!! As well there are many prizes that will be given out at the end of the event! We will arrive back at the Mariposa Inn around 3:30pm and have a few speakers talk to us and then enjoy dinner together. Registration is available online at http://www.rideforda...des/snowmobile/ or on the day of the event. Also check out www.sledorillia.com for more details. I'll try and keep things updated here as well. Hope to see some of you out to support a great cause! Keep your fingers crossed for snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oro Guy Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 The ride went well! Couldn't have asked for a better day. Sure am glad we had snow! We had around 40 riders. I'm not sure of the final numbers raised but we did well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
