UPDATE!!
Update!: Monday 8th February 2010 2030
After the meeting today with the authorities and the unprecedented response from the biking community we have been asked to close registration one week early. It will unfortunately NOT be re-opening.
We would like to reassure everyone that the ride IS GOING AHEAD WITH the FULL support of the police and local authorities. We have spoken to a few local businesses who are all looking forward to the day. ALL bikes will be riding through Wootton Bassett no matter what you may have heard.
Plan details re: routes, times, wristbands, will be made available in document format soon. We have another meeting with the police next week to discuss the finer details. We can confirm that we will NOT be riding on any stretches of the motorway.
We would like to apologise to anybody who has not registered however wanted to join us, we thank everybody for their patience and support.
Thank you for your patience!

This is a huge event, over 10,000 bikes signed up. I will be going, already registered, but I want to know WHY MCN seem to be ignoring what promises to be the BIGGEST ride of the year??? I wonder how many MCN readers will be attending this event, to raise a substantial amount of money, for an extemely worthy BRITISH charity. And are thinking, "why did I not see anything on the pages of MCN about this?" maybe I won't bother buying MCN for a few weeks. See if they notice then?

WOOTTON BASSETT RIDE
Mothers Day Bikers Event 2010
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 lives in Afghanistan.
More than 10,000 riders are expected to ride through the Wiltshire town on Sunday March 14 and then gather on the runway at RAF Lyneham. They will there 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 Wiltshire 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 where the fallen were 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 our returning troops.
Total number of bikes already registered: 10306
Total number of riders already registered: 14260 (inc pillion)
TO TAKE PART IN THIS EVENT, YOU MUST REGISTER AT www.afghanheroes.org.uk/bikersevent.asp BEFORE THE 15TH OF FEBRUARY TO GAIN ACCESS TO RAF LYNEHAM.
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE PLACE TO BE FOR MOTHERS DAY
