The votes are in and while Lloydminster won the 2018 title of Canada’s Most Rider Friendly Contest, Drumheller riders are proud to have earned second place against a city with a population three times our size, as well as $10,000 in marketing funds.
The contest ended June 4 and saw Lloydminster win with around 10,600 votes to Drumheller’s 9,200.
“We have a much smaller population but we held our own really well,” said Linda Buchamer who actively promoted the contest online. “There is no loser here and we still will receive $10,000 in marketing that is directed at motorcycle tourists.”
Mayor Heather Colberg said despite Drumheller losing the contest we still have beautiful scenery to ride to and the regular motorcycle traffic in town is evidence enough of our place as a top biker destination.
“We already know we are the most rider friendly community. We’re blessed to have such amazing views for people to ride through,” Colberg said.
