WROAR adds demo rides

From WROAR

TORONTO, ON – The WROAR Ride (Women Ride Out Against Rape) is excited to announce the Honda ‘Come Ride With Us’ Demo Rides will be a part of the WROAR Ride event.

Honda Canada will have the 2005 motorcycles at the WROAR Ride event, and licensed motorcyclists with appropriate gear will be able to sign up to take a demo ride for a small donation to the WROAR Ride. The women participating in the WROAR Ride will also have a chance to ride the new Hondas too, with early rides schedule for registered WROAR Riders.

The first annual WROAR Ride will take place on Sunday June 12 at The Docks Entertainment Complex on Toronto’s lakeshore. The WROAR Ride event will occupy the parking lot to the north of the Cherry Street Diner, on the west side of Cherry St. south of Lakeshore Blvd. East, just north of Polsun Street.

The All-Day WROAR Ride event will include exhibitors’ displays as well as late afternoon musical entertainment, and the event is open to all. The group ride taking place mid-day is an ‘all-women’ motorcycle ride, and is open to women motorcyclists and their passengers only. Spectators and supporters are welcome.

The goal of the WROAR Ride is to raise funds for the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape as well as raise awareness about issues of sexual violence. The Toronto Rape Crisis Centre has a 31-year history of providing 24-hour confidential crisis counseling for survivors of sexual violence, as well as educational programs, and other services, supported by the grass roots fundraising efforts of women like the ‘WROAR Riders’.
