This is an event for bikers on Remembrance Sunday every year
The next RING OF RED M25 is on Sunday 8th November 2020
The aim is to form a circle of bikers dressed in red riding CLOCKWISE around the M25, all the bikers
making up the biggest Poppy in the World.
The rides are intended to present a physical show of support for our Armed Forces, both current and previous.
Not every biker goes to a remembrance service on this day, but I do know that they Respect our armed service men and women. This is just another way of showing it.
The Ring of Red event was an idea by Julia Stevenson with the Ring of Red M25 being organised by
Ali Scott and assisted by a team of admins and Meeting Point Reps.
PLEASE DONATE TO THE RIDE ONLINE OR AT THE MEETING POINTS

Having been sent this statement, we need to see if this means that we can still go ahead with the Ring of Red around the M25 and M60 both events at this moment are cancelled because of Covid rules. My team and i are going to speak with relevant authorities and see if we can still go ahead to once again on remembrance Sunday make the world's largest poppy's around both motorways all wearing red. There will be very strict rules we will have to follow with NO large gatherings. Masks WILL be worn. If there is anyway we can pull this ride off this year we will, but we will need everyone to obey the Covid rules. Watch this space.
Ride of Respect have to announce: due to circumstances beyond our control, and with a heavy heart, we sadly have to cancel the Ride of Respect, Ring of Red on the 8th Nov. Edited: Julia Stevenson asked me to to say to the bikers: please have the respect to do as we have asked as I have always been proud of every single one of them.
