Wootton Bassett Ride of Respect

GoldWings North Midlands are hosting their annual Ride of Respect to Wootton Bassett

This will be the first official event of the newly formed Federation club and they invite you to take part. Plans include an overnight stay in a local hotel, taking part in the ride of respect,  followed by a ride around the area on the Sunday. Pre-registration for the ride is required as numbers are expected to be high.

Last year around 10,000 bikers descended on Wiltshire to ride through the town of Wootton Bassett in appreciation of the sacrifice made by British soldiers. They rode through the town, the scene of many moving homecomings for service personnel killed in Afghanistan.

Over the past 2 years Julia Stevenson and Anne Cole have set up and run The Ride of Respect bike ride through Royal Wootton Bassett. In that time they have raised over a quarter of a million pounds for military charities.

After a huge amount of requests from local residents and businesses they have decided to run the Ride of Respect this year on 18 March for the very last time to say ‘Thank you’ to the residents of this wonderful town for they have done over recent years for our ‘fallen  heroes’ and their families.

The ride will be leaving RAF Hullavington airfield riding through The High Street of RWB.

This year will be supported by The Royal British Legion and all monies raised will be split equally between 10 nominated military Charities as listed on their website www.rideofrespect.co.uk Registrations are now open.
