Ride to Remember

The results from Burnt River still aren't posted on the CMA website as of this moment, and as such I do not have an update on the series for you, yet. I apologize. I think for the future I will copy the results at the races in order to ensure a quick update for everyone.
In the mean time, I would like to bring to your attention Adam Glaizer's 24 Hour Ride. Now, some of you are aware of the ride and some are not. (EDIT) The ride will take place July 21-22. I sincerely hope that you will check out Adam's ride. It takes place at Motopark. All proceeds from his charity ride will go to the Alzheimer's Society of Canada.
Alzheimer's is a degrenerative disease that generally affects the elderly. It is the most common form of dementia. The disease is characterized by the formation of plaques on the brain which become toxic to the brain at excessive levels. The most common symptoms are a loss of memory, with the loss of body- and motor-functions common in more advanced cases. Research is currently examining the use of stemcells as a way of reversing the disease, as well as other possible treatments.
Please support Adam's ride. Alzheimer's disease affects one in four Canadians, either directly (as a victim of the disease) or indirectly (family member, friend). With research, perhaps one day we will be able to find a cure for this horrible, personality robbing, disease.
More information about Adam's ride can be found on his website:
