2009 Bike Rally        

     

Friday/Saturday/Sunday 

11/10/12 July 2009

For 2009 we have set oursevles a far bigger challenge than a 'bike meet' which we have been running for the past two years, where Stuart Morrissey, aka Madrider1961 has rode into the event after completing a 12 day, 4K mile ride around the UK.  

2009 will see Stuart attempt to break his unofficial record of Lands End/John O'Groats/Lands End, and instead of attempting the ride in 4 days, he will be attempting it in 3 days, which is some mean feat for a disabled biker.  He will be raising money for DebRA through his 'justgiving' site.   The Lands End/John O'Groats/Lands End ride will be the only charity ride that he undertakes prior to the bike rally and we are hoping to have celebrity veteran biker at the finish line in Lands End to wave the 'chequered' flag.

We are currently in the process of arranging a 3 day bike rally near Saltash, Cornwall, just off the A38.   We already have a venue, that being the Crooked Inn, Saltash.   There will be camping, live music, a firework display, stalls/displays, a hog/lamb roast, and other activities.  Our aim is to get bikers from all different groups together, to all have a great weekend and raise lots of money for our nominated charity, DebRA, which helps sufferers with the terrible skin blistering condition known as Epidermolysis Bullosa, or EB for short.  There are varying forms of EB and, in some cases, the condition can be fatal.  All monies raised at this event will go to our nominated charity.

Our 2008 target was to raise £5K for DebRA, we actually raised a total of £3,709.38 (including gift aid), we are still setting our target for 2009 at £5K and hope to break the £5K target.

We are still in the early planning stages at the moment and are currently sourcing local bands etc. to play at our event.  If you are a member of a band or know of a band who would be interested in playing at our event, can you please contact us, likewise if you have any suggestions for our event we would be pleased to hear from you.

This page will be updated as we have more information.
