Dr B's charity toy run

Photobucket

The first Sunday of December is the date for the enormous charity bike ride, from an office complex on the outskirts of Reading to the Dr Banardo’s school in Wokingham town centre. Over 2000 motorbikes, trikes and quads gather in the carparks of the old Shire Hall in festive fancy dress, each with a small present to deliver to the school to be distributed to the children. We decided to pay the start a visit this year to watch the build up before heading off to the LTV festive meet, the sight brings a lump to the throat, the vast numbers of leather clad Santas and reindeer all coming together for such a good cause.

Decrorated bikes came in many styles
