Dozens of B.C. RCMP officers riding in the annual Cops for Kids fundraiser made a refuelling stop last Saturday night in Grand Forks at the USCC Hall, where volunteers from the USCC offered bowls of homemade borscht to the riders. After a long day of riding through the Boundary, beginning in Osoyoos, the cyclists fell nearly silent when the borscht hit their spoons.
