This is an AMAZING EXPERIENCE !! Well worth going to and supporting for the Men that give us our price of freedom. Bikers come from all over the united Kingdom to support this event . There are lots of starting points throughout the UK .
Check it out.
Thought this event would have been Forums. It is on Events .
Starting points RTTW is a unique motorcycling event which gives motorcyclists an opportunity to gather together at a place of remembrance, to pay their respects to our serving and fallen service men and women and in doing so, raise funds solely for the purpose of perpetuating their memory and recognising the sacrifice made.

All I can say its a total experience to be out there with so many bikers supporting our Past and present Men and Women in our forces . It really shows what Bikers are made of . lol Totally Awesome stuff.
Im heading straight to Leicester North M1 Set of is 10:15 as per info on starting points and times. Hope you have a great day if i don't see you as so many go lol ! X
Would like to go to this and have put down a request for a lift. Happy to drive to a convenient pick-up point, if anyone is able to take me as a pilly - happy to reward via coffee and cakes ...
I'd love to go but I've only got my little bike so won't be able to go on the motorways and it's an awful long way to go on such a little bike, so unless I can get a pilly I think I'm going to have to miss it?
