Prince George, B.C.- They are on Harley’s, Yamahas, Kawasaki’s, Triumphs, and everything in between. More than 500 bikes in all, for the annual toy run.

Each bike brought with it, toys for the Salvation Army’s Christmas baskets.

It was awesome to see so many bikes. I had a blast riding in this toy run. A huge thanks to the organziers for a job well done!

Wow, more good news. This is getting boring

"he speaks", maybe you should buy a bike. We had a great time yesterday, not boring at all. We came out in weather that was cool and damp. We brought gifts for the children of needy families. Why would you think that does not deserve front page attention??? People helping people. Shame on you!

I heard the count was 576 bikes, about a 1,000 people!! Good for us Prince George. Nice to see people doing something positive, not boring, in the name of his fellow man!!

"he speaks" you need to get away from your PC once in awhile, because that can get boring!

This is a great story - but not a lot written in the article - where did they drive to..etc....

we went south on Ospika, over University Way, up Foothills to Chief Lk. Rd., to Kelly Road south,and on to Highland Dr., back onto Foothills, and back to CN Center.

I was a great ride, for a good cause. Cold and wet, but I wouldn't have missed it for anything.

Well done Prince George bikers.
