Ring of Red M60 and M25 9th November 2014 Remembrance Sunday
This is an event for bikers on Remembrance Sunday

9th November 2014

The aim is to again form a circle of bikers dressed in red riding Anti-Clockwise around the M60 making the biggest Poppy in the World.

The ride is intended to present a physical show of support for our Armed Forces, both current and previous. Not every biker goes to a remembrance service on this day, but most Respect our armed service men and women. This is just another way of showing it.

The Ring of Red event was an idea by Julia Stevenson, a well known respected biker who, along with her co-founder Anne Cole, organises the Ride of Respect Rideout. Julia is also the founder of the annual Lee rigby Memorial Ride to Woolwich. Julia is assisted by a team of admins who all help organise the different events.

It is a non-profit event with all monies raised from the donations to this event this year will be donated to the charity 'Walking with the Wounded'. Every £2,000 raised will be put to First Steps which has been designed to provide enhanced training and vocational skills to help a veteran with the support on the journey into employment after leaving the armed forces.

The M25 ride will be meeting at variuos points shown on the web site

THE M60 RING OF RED RIDE WILL BE MEETING AT BIRCH SERVICES ON THE M62 AT 11AM & WILL BE LEAVING PROMPTLY AT 1300 HRS TO GET ALL THE BIKERS RIDING ROUND THE M60 ANTI-CLOCKWISE BY 1330 HOURS

Typical, the only Sunday I'm not around. Enjoy folks.

 

Looking like a sunny day for it

 

god dammit im working :-(

 

Still looking sunny for Sunday just a bit parky

 

Yep definitely parky ................. should have picked up a red hoodie rather than a T-shirt

Any idea how many turned up, there's a bridge vid online suggesting we all took around 15 mins to go past, oh and we made the Evening News

Just read the MEN article - why talk to a bloody cager for his thoughts - why not one of the 'undreds of bikers .............:bang:

 

Fantastic turnout today. Yep there is a video from the bridge at Clifton, I will post it and some pics too.

 

Ok, so get on this.
If everyone who went took part in the "most rememberingist ring of red" ride banged the juice money they spend on gogo juice into a pot, they would have alot more money to pass on to charity.

 

Maybe people wanted to show their respect rather than just chuck a fiver in a bucket..

 

By the same token ..maybe if everyone stayed at home and didn't go to church and/or visit cenotaphs they could put their gas money in too ?

Saw loads of bikers in red Tees - a really good turn out - I popped by my local Cenotaph on the way to Rivvy and made sure I had my poppy on - each to their own but a sterling show from bikers all round ....
