Annual “Forbidden Ride” Fun Run and Theatre Weekend

2010 Weekend TBA!

Motorcycle enthusiasts beware... Huron and Perth Counties have teamed up to create a unique motorcycle weekend in May. The weekend begins with a “bikers’ night” at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival with discounted tickets for participants. Arrive at the theatre in style as you show off your bikes on a police-escorted parade through downtown Stratford on your way to the show. Saturday is the “forbidden ride” ending with dinner, live music and a stunning sunset over Lake Huron. Visit www.ridethecounties.ca for more information.

If you missed the inaugural weekend, make sure to visit www.ridethecounties.ca to get in on the 2010 event!
