Hi Everyone (and some whos phone numbers were eraised when I dropped my phone)
Sorry for my late reply, this has grown a lot quicker and bigger than I expected (never mind more cash for the cause!) There is no registration at this moment in time so just turn up at the Pied Bull, pay your £5 collect your wristband have a cuppa and ride!.This is how it stands at the moment but I am meeting with Kent Police to organise the route, which will mostly be motorways (sorry to the guys who have contacted me that are still on L plates) unless we post something on this site, facebook or I will email anyone if they drop me a line. My mobile number is 07857 580 377 Thanks for all your support on this event, hopefully it will be a day to remember and one to do again next year? Regards Mick Gillman Kent co-ordinator AGH
No registration needed, Just turn up.

I did the Mothers Day ride out and it was a great day, so count me in for this one aswell, is there gonna be a regisration process as time is ticking ?
Hi Tony
There is a link on facebook under events and you can tick to say you intend to take part. Its pay on the day, which should be fun…yer right! see you there. Mick
I have e/mailed some m/cycle clubs in Essex,so lets hope for a good
turn out. If it is half as good as Wooten Bassett it will be great day for a great cause.
Regards to all.

Hi, is ride still on and are we still meeting at the same place?
Excellent run. Awsome site at Manston, being one of the first to park up, I was gobsmacked at the number of bikes that were still rolling up.
Hope you did well and that this becomes an annual event, for a great cause.
Cheers
Mark.
Brilliant run, amazing number of bikes,well done to everybody concerned,. Any idea final total
of bikes and money received.Best Wishes to all.,
I was having a look on Flickr for pix taken on the day and couldn’t find a group (searching for Afghan Heroes) other than the WB Mother’s Day run, so I took the liberty of creating one.
Please post your pics of the day on the site if you can.
