So, not new new that I'm military, but new news surrounding this ride my friend Ron puts on. Basically, we ride around Victoria visiting 8 different cenotaphs on Saturday (12th) listening to veterans, who both ride and respect the honour that cenotaphs hold. I'd love to see a huge turn out This coming Saturday (12th) starting at 0900 at Serious Coffee in Esquimalt. This is not a ride per-se, but more of a reflection. Come celebrate with neighbours who served and do serve. ALL ARE WELCOME!
