This past Saturday I was lucky enough to have my camera with me as over 5,000 motorcyclists took part in the ride from Canadian Forces Base Trenton in the annual Heroes Highway Ride and Rally.
The event, designed as a ride along the Highway of Heroes to honour Canadian Forces soldiers, has grown and now also features a rally for non-motorcyclists as well.
Riders got underway at around 11 a.m. Saturday, and the ride travelled the entire length of the Highway of Heroes to finish around 1 p.m. with a rally and entertainment at the Polson Pier on the Toronto waterfront.
The beginning of the route goes very close to my home and it's nice to watch something fun for a change instead of hearses carrying the bodies of fallen Canadian soldiers after being repatriated.
The bikes rumbled by for about an hour non-stop and luckily the rain held off for the entire time I was out there watching it. It was quite an impressive sight.
