Rideout Ride of Remeberance, Ring of Red

After working on my indicators in the shed ay 1:30 am this morning using a head torch I was able to get out on the Ring of Red, Ride of Respect today, met up with some surrey TOMCC at Rykers then headed off to Cobham services on M25 for the local start. There must have been well over 1000 bikes there, lots of red!

A wonderful turn out, hopefully enough to have completed the circle, truly humbling and wonderful to see and wave to people on bridges who had come to see us ride by.

Hopefully we shall find out if we managed a complete circle

warmed up and


OFF!

would be great, I have to admit I'd rather be riding than faffing with family so youre not alone there!!
Unfortunately it wasn't a success as there were not enough bikers, seemingly it was close tho, hopefully there might be some figures later but here goes my calculations!!

The M25 is roughly 120 miles = 633,600ft, a bike is roughly 8ft long and the request you leave 3 bikes length between bikes, so 1 bike takes up 32ft; 633,600 divided by 32 = 19,800 bikes!!

updated figures, it helps if you use a calculator
