Guest akey Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 As some of you know I support a couple of main charities one of which is Macmillan.A firend at work runs a Macmillan fund raising group called Bikers4Macmillan and the flagship event is the annual Sunset to Sunrise tour.Motorcyclists leaving south stack light house at Holyhead at sunset (about 9.40 pm) and riding through the night to get to Skegness for Sunrise (about 4 am). The event is held over the weekend closest to the shortest night of the year. It is now in its third year and, elsewhere on the site, you can find pictures from previous years and more information about this years ride.This year I am doing the ride (work commitments stopped me last year), the ride is open to all, although I wouldnt recomend it to 125 riders. So if you fancy coming to join me for a small bit of lunacy in aid of a very special charity then please have a look at the link below for more info or to register.http://www.bikers4macmillan.org.uk/overnightride.aspx If you do register please post up so I know who to look out for at South Stack.

Guest akey Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Dave, sounds like a plan mate, I will be with the organisers on the Fri night but would be good to see you at south stack before we depart if you guys can make it down Quote
Guest Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Hey now this looks good I live about 20 miles from south stack so can easily make it there after work Saturday. I'll have a word with a few mates and see if they're up for it but I'll most likely come anyway. Will let you know Quote
Guest akey Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Nice one mate, would be good to see you, if you fancy the overnight challenge as well see the link above to register Quote
Guest Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 yes it was the overnight run I was thinking of doing, I'll let you know if its me and my mates or just me for the run after registering. Quote
Guest Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 just letting you know I registered for the overnight challenge, I'll be doing it two up on the Blackbird. See you at south stack on the Saturday evening then Akey Quote
cruz Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Already committed for this year (AFD), but a ride I would be up for in the future, and a good cause too. Quote
rennie Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 yeah I'd have liked to do this too!fair old trip in the dark! Quote
archiec Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 good run just too far from me, do you know if anyone is organasing anything similar in Scotland ? Quote
Capitano Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Yep, much as I'd love to do this; despite the fact that I'd be a lot slower than most on my bike; Circumstances mean that to do it I'd have to cover 900 miles+ in less than 24 hours and still be fit to socialise afterwards.Much as I hate to admit it, I ain't as hardcore as Nick Sanders.I'll drop a few quid in the pot this year though.

Guest akey Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 just so you know mate, the riders brief will take place at 9pm so might be worth giving yourself a bit of time to get there a little earlier I will be there much earlier (but we are staying over at RAF Valley Fri night). Quote
