Had a great day at the DGR Leeds ride out today. Weather was a bit grim first thing but got better as the day went on. Great organisation with great marshalling to ensure everyone was safe en route. Some fantastic bikes on show too including a 1926 Triumph which we judged to be the best bike there, and also a Mike Hailwood rep Desmo (Brett from Halifax - hopefully he'll see this post). We finished up being asked to attend a Leukaemia fund raising event at Pizza Hut in Cardinal Field, Leeds so that the kids there could see all the bikes and take part too. A huge thank you to Pizza Hut for the free soft drinks and pizza too!! So to sum up. Great day. Great weather (eventually). Great ride. Great organisation. Great marshalling. Great bikes. Great people and great fund raising. Massive thanks to everyone that took the time and effort to sponsor me and anyone else that did the DGR day. Let's hope that this helps find that elusive cure for cancer!! Hope you like the pics (it's just a selection)
And that's my medal for raising the most sponsorship on the Leeds ride Thank you everyone that donated and a thank you in advance to those that will
