OFFICIAL RIDE OF RESPECT
Click here to edit subtitle
This is an event for bikers on Remembrance Sunday
every year - the next ride will be on
Sun 8th November 2020
be at Birch Services for 12 noon, leaving 1pm
The aim is to form a circle of bikers dressed in red riding 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 I do know that they 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.
The organiser of the Ring of Red M60 Ride is Jeanette Netty Kiely, assisted by her admin team.
THIS YEAR'S CHARITY WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON
