SATURDAY 2 JULY 2011
ONE RIDE, THREE NATIONS: UNITED IN REMEMBRANCE OF OUR FALLEN HEROES
Bikers from across the United Kingdom, United States and Canada are invited to attend the third Allied Memorial Remembrance Ride. This year we welcome Canada to the event and so will see one ride in three Nations, its riders united in remembrance of our fallen heroes from the allied forces, past and present, who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. The UK ride will take place in Cambridge, with a short service being held at the American War Cemetery in Madingley, Cambs. The US ride has expanded this year to incorporate three further memorials in two more States making a total of four rides, the original takes place in Texas, with a short service being held at the RAF Memorial located at the Oakland Memorial Park Cemetery in Terrell, Texas, east of Dallas. A further two take place in Oklahoma; one to the RAF Memorial at the IOOF Cemetery in Ponca City and the other to the RAF Memorial at the GAR Cemetery in Miami (service only), and the fourth ride in the US will be to the RAF Memorial at Mesa City Cemetery in Mesa, Arizona. The Canadian ride is still in the early planning stages and the itinerary will be released in due course - watch this space!
The menus on the left have been divided into four categories; Main Menu (general ride details), UK Ride, American Ride and Canadian Ride (country specific details). Hopefully, we have covered everything you need to know about the rides but, if after reading through the website you still have questions, please register on the forums to post your queries where one of the organisers will respond as soon as possible. You can also keep updated with ride information via email by subscribing to the AMRR Newsletter using the module under the menus on the left of this page. If you are not a biker, or unable to attend as a biker, but want to show your support, please sign our guestbook and if you live along the route of a ride, we encourage you to come out to show your support and watch this extra ordinary remark of respect by the biking community as they ride past. They ride with pride, ride with respect and ride to remember.
LEST WE FORGET
This event has been organised by members of the Royal British Legion (Riders Branch), a UK charity that safeguards the welfare, interests and memory of those who are serving or who have served in the Armed Forces. We are recognised as custodians of Remembrance. This ride is open to all bikers, you do not have to be a member of the Royal British Legion Riders to take part although we do encourage you to learn about who we are and what we do by taking a look at our parent sites: Royal British Legion Riders Branch and the Royal British Legion. We ask that all riders Ride with Pride, Ride with Respect and Ride to Remember.
