Rescue Rideout August 18th

[Yellowwolf]

Anyone going to this? It looks like quite a big ride, in aid of Air Ambulance. Starting points in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Birmingham, London and Northamptonshire. Police escort from Jack's Hill Cafe into Brackley Festival of Motorcycling. Sign up at theairambulanceservice.org.uk/rideout

Sounds good but will not know if I m free till nearer the time.

[Yellowwolf]

Have signed up for this, would be nice to have some company

[simonm]

Will talk to the missus tonight and see if I can get a day pass.


Does it do Derby -> Leicestershire -> Northampton or are they all separate rides ?  It would be much cooler if they everyone tagged along en-route.



Fingers crossed.

Im signed up. From what I can gather, the ride outs are all coming in seperately from different areas but they all meet up at jacks hill and leave there in batches of 250 to Brackley.

Yep thats the plan. If anyone hasn't gone on a ride with thousands of other bikes- do it, its an amazing experience AND it raises money for charity x

[simonm]

Which one are people thinking of starting from ?

[Doddsie]

You have to state which one when booking, Im at jacks hill as its only up the road from me.

[Yellowwolf]

I'm starting at Wellingboro so I get a bit of a longer rideout

[nick crisp]

I feel I really ought to go on this, having been the recipient of the services of the London Air Ambulance in the past, but too early to say if I can make it or not. Is there a "latest application" date on this?

[Doddsie]

Its all here.....

Yeah but you have to get out of bed earlier and all the bacon rolls will be gone by the time you get to jacks hill!!!

[Yellowwolf]
