MCN's #ride5000miles group reaches 10k members!

Published: 18 April 2019

Here at MCN we’re thrilled to report that the #ride5000miles Facebook community acquired its 10,000^th member today.

We wish huge congratulations to Richard Young, who was the new member that tipped the R5K group past the five-figure threshold. He wins tickets to the Devitt MCN Festival next month alongside a 12 month subscription to both MCN and sister title Ride magazine.

Furthermore, we’ve just staged a giveaway in the group that’s open to all members, so no-one misses out on a chance to win a prize!

The #ride5000miles campaign started in January 2017, and since then the influx of enthusiast bikers has been relentless. Members of the group regularly post images and updates from their ride-outs, longer trips, trackdays, maintenance and pretty much every other aspect of day-to-day life with a motorcycle.

Alongside the Facebook group we give the R5K community coverage in MCN each week, so as well as everything going on online there’s a chance your adventures may end up in print as well.

Why don’t you get involved? To find out more, simply sign up here and join in on the fun!
