Help4Heroes Ride Starts 3rd April

Murt

Well.
All the planning is coming together and we start our Help4 Heroes 'round Britain ride' on 3rd April at Blackpool.
We will be visiting a large number of towns that have had losses of Forces personnel on our weeks trip, doing press /radio / local paper interviews en route.

Wigan Yamaha have very kindly sponsored us by loaning two brand new FJR 1300's for the duration of the ride (and afterwards for press stuff!) and Raceways have sponsored us the fuel costs.
We did intend to stay at military establishments en route, but 'terrorist security issues' have put the dampers on that so Travel lodge have come to the Fore and are supplying rooms for reduced prices to keep our costs down.

I will post the routes that Steve and myself will be doing at a later date, so hope to see some of the people who may live locally when we are in your neck of the woods.
All the info is HERE for H4H page

I will update more over the next few days.....

Have a look ( or put a quid in the pot!)
Murt.
