A colleague at work told me about this and I thought it might be of interest to some of you;

Mothers Day Bikers Event March 14th

Thousands of bikers from throughout the country are planning a spectacular mass ride through Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire on Mothers Day to honour soldiers who have lost their life in Afghanistan.

More than 1,000 riders are expected to ride through the Wiltshire town on Sunday March 14th and then gather on the runway at RAF Lyneham. They will then hand over funds raised for the Afghan Heroes charity set up last September by a group of mothers who lost their sons in Afghanistan.

The bikers will descend on Wilstshire from throughout the UK and gather at the Leigh Delamere services on the M4 (junction 17 - eastbound) before the mass ride through Wootton Bassett to RAF Lyneham at 12 noon. This is the RAF base  where the fallen soldiers are repatriated into the UK

Each rider will pay £5 (on the day) and receive a special commemorative Afghan Heroes wristband, which will be their entry pass to the RAF base. All proceeds raised from the ride will go to the Afghan Heroes charity which helps our service personnel in theatre, families of the fallen and returning troops.

If you would like to attend and support the event please register at

So far over 3,000 bikes have registered and 4,898 riders (including pillions)
