In its 16^th year, the ride saw about 250 bikes join the convoy in the name of charity, raising money for CanAssist.

Event president Tony Fitzgerald said it was fantastic to see the community pull together despite tough conditions.

"It was incredibly hot on Saturday when we rode, up into the 40 degree mark so to see so many riders out there was great, it was a good day," he said.

Mr Fitzgerald said the numbers were slightly down this year due to the heat.

"We've only counted about half of the money raised so we aren't quite sure just yet what the total will be," he said.

The Blues portion of the night was "fantastic" according to Mr Fitzgerald, who said three bands provided the entertainment.

"We even had one bloke come all the way from Denmark to play his music," he said.

Mr Fitzgerald said a "big thankyou" to all the sponsors and volunteers over the day.
