Mother’s day ride through Wootton Bassett – Official Announcement
The Following announcement has been passed to us by the event organisers. This replaces all previous announcements. The FAQ will be updated to reflect this new information.
An announcement… and at last it’s great news!
All the agencies (Police, MOD & Local Authorities) have come together to make the Mother’s day ride through Wootton Bassett possible.
The ride will now start within the Hullavington Airfield nr Buckley army barracks (A429) and all of the 10331 registered riders will pass through Wootton Bassett before dispersing. All registered riders will soon receive (by email) full instructions/documentation of the route, arrival / leaving times, a proof of registration and the method by which we are going to get this many riders through a small Wiltshire village safely and without causing total gridlock
We absolutely understand how difficult it must be for those that missed registration however must ask non-registered riders NOT TO ATTEND; As this poses a major threat to fellow bikers who would be at very high risk if left stationary on the M4 motorway as a result of any of the local junctions becoming blocked.
We must stress that ONLY REGISTERED RIDERS will be able to go on the organised ride.
We would like to thank The Unity Ride team for their assistance in the negotiations, planning and kind offer to marshal.
Thank you everybody who has offered their help for this event. If you still would like to contribute your time or services then please use the contact form on the Official Afghan Heroes web site and tell us what you can provide.
