Ride in charity rally

You could raise money for the Mencap charity by riding your bike in the National Rally on July 2-3.

The aim is to visit as many destinations as possible from an authorized map in 24 hours, with the race ending in Rugby. There’s no minimum sponsorship required, and riders are just asked to pledge whatever they can raise.

There are a variety of awards on offer, with the highest level, Platinum, requiring riders to cover 540 miles in just 20 hours. But it’s the taking part that counts, and entrants can choose to ride solo, or in three man teams. There’s also a scooter category alongside the motorbike class.
