Hello everyone, it is getting close to Remembrance Sunday again, so here is this years(2026) post to let all you bikers out there know what we are hoping for on Sunday 8th November. IF the weather is absolutely appalling, it will not go ahead , on safety grounds, and I will post on here asap.
Broadly speaking, this is our own version of the Ring Of Red rides up and down the country, notably the ride around the M25, in which, wearing something red, we ride, clockwise, around a coastal route of the Island, as our tribute to Remembrance Sunday and all that it represents for everyone, past and present day.
The rideout will be roughly the same route as previous years, but crucially, we will be setting off from the starting point at 8AM, not 9AM, to give us a better run out , with a short break (5mins for a stop and stretch legs time) at Blackgang viewpoint car park. The route takes in many of our towns and villages , and , please note, is approximately 75 miles in total, and 2hours 30minutes riding time, keeping to all relevant speed limits etc..
Everyone is welcome to ride along with us, hopefully we will gain a few more this year, as I hope this site will reach more people this year ( thank you Brittany, for setting it up!)
