Ride for Sight is the largest known motorcycle rally for a common 'cause in the world. John and Emely Coultis, of Varna, are Ride for Sight co-ordinators for this area. They were at the Suncoast Mall in Goderich on the weekend making the public aware of Ride for Sight, obtaining donations for eye research and fielding questions from in- terested motorcyclists about the ride. Although this is the fifth year for the ride throughout Canada, this. is the first year a ride has been organized from this area, Emely Coultis said. The local ride will commence Friday, June 12 with a camp -out at Hully Gully, sponsors of the local ride, for all interested motorcyclists. The ride to Minden, On- tario,(about 250 miles from Hully Gully), where are the Central Ontario motorcycle groups will meet, will officially begin at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 13. The local ride will travel from Hully Gully to Minden via highways 8, 401 and 35. "We are hoping to leave with 100 motor- cycles. It should be about a four and one- half hour ride with three stops along the way. We will be riding in staggered groups along the highway and the PPP will be notified of our proposed route," Coultis said. Once the group has arrived in Minden, they will take part in a camp -out with similiar groups from across Central On- tario. An estimated 2,500 motorcyclists are expected to gather at the Minden campsite this year. The ride.is held annually across Canada to raise research money for study of Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) disorders. RP is the name for a closely related group of retinal MOGA Madness .co ;yes to G j?ICI Goderich District Collegiate students and members of the public are invited to share in a little "madness" of sorts. However local parents need not fear for the sanity of their children who choose to particpate. MOGA (Most Outrageous Group Activity) Madness is a program organized by a group of students from the Ottawa area: Though it has been in opera- tion for several years, this year is the first time a local effort has been arranged. It's a competition of sorts, though -the on- ly prize is a giant pink sneaker, for high school students across Canada. Carol MacEwan, oneof the local student organizers said events will include a "Lap - walk" in which participants form a long line, sit in the lap of the person behind them and attempt to walk, and a ""Human Domino," line. A good old-fashioned Bird Dance -will also take place and the spelling out of "GDCI Vikings," with human bodies will round out the morning's activities. The event, part of local Fitness Week ac- tivities, will take place at the GDCI foot- ball field May 29, at 11 a.m. The public is invited to attend and participate.
