THIS year’s Devon Air Ambulance Trust (DAAT) Motorcycle Ride Out will return to the Den, Teignmouth on Sunday, July 9.

It is anticipated in the region of 1,000 bikes will enter the Ride Out which will start from Trago Mills, Newton Abbot, from where the bikes will set off in small groups from 10.30am.

Registration will open at 9am. The bikes will then follow an approximate 80 miles marshalled route through the stunning Devon countryside before arriving at the Den, Teignmouth, from lunchtime.

Entry is only £5 and all pre-registered entrants will receive a free, limited edition Ride Out t-shirt on the day.

You can register now via the website at: www.daat.org/event/motorcycle-ride-out-2017 .

This year DAAT is encouraging all riders to raise sponsorship. If each rider raised just £1 per mile they would each raise an additional £80 for the charity.
