Smoky climax to Rotten Ride

Smoke drifted upward from where a rider was doing a “burn-out” with his motorcycle at host DG Custom Cycle on College Line in Malahide on Saturday afternoon, July 16. A total of 375 riders had just completed the 11th annual “Rotten Ride” put on by the business with help from 50 volunteers and Aylmer Optimist Club. The event donated $3,000 to “A Smile for William,” to help fund an operation for William Rokeby, 7, of Tillsonburg to have facial muscles and expressions for the first time. And profits beyond that will go to the Optimist Club.
