A huge thank you and well done to everybody that took part in the Charity Ride-out to Devils bridge at Kirby Longsdale on 12th July 2009. The total so far is just over £1000.00 split between two very deserving charities - The Yorkshire Air Ambulance and Headway. It was a great success and the great British weather managed to hold off until the early evening.
This year we choose two charities close to all bikers hearts, The Yorkshire Air Ambulance - who operate a lifesaving rapid response helicopter service across Yorkshire and Headway - Set up to give help and support to people affected by brain injuries.
100 bikes turned up at 10am for bacon sandwiches and everybody left in convoy at 11.00am with the first stop at Denholme. After a short break every body continued up to Devils bridge for a well deserved 'cuppa'.
The riders returned back to DC Motorcycles in the afternoon for well deserved Drinks, food and live music by local band 'The Jam Dogs'. The fundraising continued throughout the evening with collections for the two charities and a raffle.
All types of bikes turned up for the event including 125's, superbikes and motorbike and sidecars.
One of the highlights of the day was been able to transport Russell Curran up to Devils Bridge in a sidecar thanks to Frij, Russell, Russell had a motorcycle accident over twenty years ago, now confined to a wheelchair and is a regular member at the Huddersfield Headway group, thoroughly enjoying the day reliving his passion for motorcycles.
Once again, thank you to everybody who took part in the event and to those that donated raffle prizes.
We will be arranging various other ride-out's next year, so please keep calling back to the news pages for details.
