Unfortunately, for a variety of personal reasons, Manitoba by Motorcycle is shutting down. As much as I would love to continue this great local tourism initiative and continue to grow it (slowly) for years to come it is simply not feasible and I have made the incredibly difficult decision to let Manitoba by Motorcycle ride off into the sunset. Everything will continue to run as usual, sending out any patches earned, until November 1, 2023 (while supplies last). After this date the website will be displaying a notice of closure but will remain online as a promotional archive of all the amazing things to see in Manitoba.

Patches are purchased and mailed out at no cost to any individual who completes the rides as required and I will mail the patches out to anyone, anywhere. Occasionally, I will deliver them in person too!

Feedback

Great riding discovering the places in Manitoba that l never knew existed!

Mel

I had started doing this last year just for fun, and was happily surprised to see this as a program! Great fun, and a great excuse for a ride or two.

I enjoyed riding out to all the many sites and towns to take the photos and enjoy the scenery. My summers have usually consisted of taking a 3 weeks bike trip out of province. This was perfect for this summer considering the circumstances, safety and health for everyone.

Kathy

My husband and I really enjoyed touring all over Manitoba searching for the various statues, it was like a treasure hunt. We learned so much about the various town’s history as we got off the motorcycle and read the plaques.

This is a great way to spend weekends. Whoever thought of this my hats off to them. There is so much to see in our own province.

Laurie

Great idea to justify a fun sightseeing ride. There are far more monuments than I was aware of.

What a great way to see parts of Manitoba that I would never had explored. During these times of travel restriction, it was a great way to see more of our own province.
