Organizer Neil Sheard said in a Facebook post Friday the rally was intended as a “ride around” the monument. Posters advertising the motorcycle rally billed the event as “A salute to those who went before us.” The motorcycle group, according to route updates on its Facebook page, then rolled out on Highway 417 and to Highway 416, promptly leaving the city limits en route to a barbecue and a rock concert on private property - location undisclosed - somewhere south of Ottawa. Several supporters were left disappointed, however, when the police escort at the head of the motorcade made an abrupt U-turn at the Mackenzie King Bridge and Albert Street and directed all the traffic back southbound along Elgin Street.
The Rolling Thunder group had assembled at an Arnprior truck stop earlier in the day before making its way along Highway 417 and into downtown Ottawa along Elgin Street, where it was met with the small, but vocal group of supporters amid a heavy police presence. “Welcome to Ottawa, brothers and sisters,” supporters shouted from Elgin Street as the rolling rally made its way towards the War Memorial.
