Over 1,000 bikers come out for Dice Run

Well over 1,000 bikers participated in the eighth annual Big Balls Dice Run on the weekend of Friday to Sunday, July 8-10 that involved camping at Springwater Conservation Area southwest of Aylmer near Orwell, a bike tour to Port Burwell on Saturday in the early afternoon (the start of which seen here) and a barbecue with live music at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 524 (Port Burwell) later the same afternoon. Big Balls Dice Run has raised over $190,000 for the London Down Syndrome Association in the seven previous years and organizer Doug Lounsbury believed about $40,000 (about the same amount as 2015) would be raised when the money was tallied from the 2016 event.
