Dave Day reports

Rode to Burton Services to join the Dave Day ride back to Barrow. What a marvelous experience :grinning:
Thousands and thousands of bikes and the roads were lined by thousands of people cheering and clapping. Great day, not chance to get a picture of the procession but I am sure they will be everywhere :smile:

Managed to get a picture of Si King as he rode in to Burton Services.

Burton was packed before the main group arrived

Barrow turned out to welcome everyone - massive turnout

Relaxing ride back up the coast road

Yeah I didn’t expect that level of enthusiasm!
I only had to ride one junction up the M6 to Burton and was getting waved as a solo rider from the crowds on the bridges :heart_eyes:

Just watched the BBC 2 programme about the ride. Great little programme about how they got together.
Not a dry eye in our house tonight…!

Yeah I enjoyed it. Brought back memories of a fantastic ride out and the genuine love between Si, Dave and Lill shone through.

An ANPR camera would be my guess…

Watched this last night - managed to spot my bike in two of the drone shots at Burton-in-Kendal services :rofl:
