Did anyone see the hundreds of bikes travelling North on the A12 in Essex this morning about 11.30?
There were all sorts of bikes so it definitely wasn't an owners club but I did see a few 'True Heroes' patches being displayed - any ideas what that's all about?

There was a Big gathering of Bikers (beleive 10,000 of them) doing a ride through Wootton Bassett in aid of the Afghan heroes charity fund and beleive there was similar events being held all over the country

Yep, that's just down the road from us, you could hear them from around 7:30 this morning and still going at 2pm!

We were going to do it but I was due to be overseas tomorrow, when it was cancelled all the places for the run were taken. Big shame 'cos it's the last one here as next year RAF Lyneham is closing so it will move to Oxfordshire.

Estimated 10-15,000 due this year. Pretty impressive too.

Similar event in Yorkshire, Squires to Eden, any onw else on here join it??

this is the full story, a worthy cause

Yep, I was invited to go along on the local one but was unable to attend

Great event for a good cause. They did it last year too I believe
