Here’s a bit of info about the event from TI’s Mary Compeau. “In the summer of 2007 the Alexandria Bay Chamber of Commerce hosted the first Thousand Islands River Run Motorcycle Rally in Alexandria Bay, New York. It was a great success and with each passing year the TI River Run is attracting larger numbers of motorcycle enthusiasts to see what Alexandria Bay (www.alexbay.org)...
