Mackenzie leads RfH ride

Niall Mackenzie will lead the ride-in to the 2006 Riders for Health Day of Champions at Donington Park on Thursday, June 29.

Former GP and British Superbike star Mackenzie will be riding from Coalville, heading around 200 bikes to the circuit. The ride will start at the Victoria Pub, with registration opening at 9am, and followed by breakfast. While you enjoy the food, you can watch interviews with stars from BSB and MotoGP before leaving at 1.20am to go on track for two laps of the famous Donington circuit at 12 noon.

You must wear full riding kit on track, including full one or two-piece leathers.

And the laps are not a track day, and will be two parade laps behind a safety car.
