Ride Perth County in the 2012 Forbidden Ride - May 25-26
On May 25 and 26, 2012, the streets of Perth County will be filled with the
sound of roaring motorcycles cruising their way around Perth County as they
take a Forbidden Ride.
Friday evening kicks off with a group ride down Ontario Street in Stratford
ending up at downtown's Market Square for a Show 'n Shine, good eats and some
entertainment. Discount tickets for only $39* are offered to participants of
the Forbidden Ride to the performance of The Matchmaker at the Stratford
Festival Theatre May 25 at 8pm.
About the Play: With his eye ever fixed on the bottom
line, wealthy merchant Horace Vandergelder can’t see the value of love – even
as he searches for a wife. His matchmaker, Dolly Levi, however, is making
her own plans for him, while
his clerks pursue their hearts’ desires in the big city.
*Offer may
expire without notice. Prices do not include the taxes. This offer is
available for the performance of The Matchmaker on May 25 at 8pm only.
Excludes A+ seats. Offer valid on new orders only.
On Saturday morning, participants are encouraged to visit one of our many
fantastic restaurants for a delicious breakfast. Then be sure to browse through
some of the unique shops before heading to the Perth County Welcome Centre
and Artisan Market in Shakespeare to begin the Forbidden Ride. The cost to
participate in the ride is $30.00 for the first rider and $20.00 for a passenger,
with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Perth County Big Brothers
and Big Sisters organizations.
The Forbidden Ride will take you all over the countryside, with bikers stopping
in at least 5 different towns to collect stamps on the “roads less travelled”.
You will stop at various attractions to explore the exciting landscapes and
forbidden finds we have to offer! It will end with a savoury local full course
BBQ meal in St. Marys, by the river featuring local foods. Live music and great
prizes will await you.
The annual Forbidden Ride event also promotes the “Ride Huron-Perth
Motorcycle Map” that guides motorcyclists to motorcycle-friendly roads,
restaurants and accommodations in the county.
