About ALPHA ROCK TOUR 2021

Our world has changed dramatically, so has the R.O.C.K. (at least for 2021). The single-day motorcycle group ride will not take place this year. Instead, we will host a new fundraiser – a hybrid of the Alphabet Tour we ran in 2014 and our usual annual event.

Two Alphabet Periods – June 4 to June 30, & July 1 to 26.

Three Alphabet Regions

  • Niagara/Hamilton – Niagara on the Lake – Fort Erie - Port Dover - Hamilton
  • West – Sarnia – Chatham - Kincardine - Guelph
  • North – Bancroft – Midland – Forks of the Credit -Peterborough

     Twenty-six Letter / Locations in each region, to a maximum of 52.

    One Selfie at each location/letter. 

    Fundraising can be done online or using our printed pledge sheets.

    $1000 Gas Card - Grand Prize – 1 ballot for every selfie and/or 1 ballot for every $25 raised.

    Registration Fee - $25. (As individual or couple)

    Wrap-up – July 31 Attendance not required to win. Grand Prize and Top Five Fundraisers will be live-streamed on social media. Tentative location - Tons Of Bike Gear - 10:30 am

    Open to all vehicles! (Not just motorcycles for 2021)  Participate on 2 wheels, three or four.

    The ROCKRIDE was created in 2004, after founders Bob & Lori Thomas lost their daughter Samantha to Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma just before her third birthday. The annual event has raised over $510,000 for childhood cancer research, as directed by the C17 Research Fund & Childhood Cancer Canada. The C17 Fund directly supports various research projects at the 17 Children’s hospitals across Canada.
