18/05/14 - Lee Rigby Ride of Respect, London.

Post by jasg »

Hi all i don't know how many people know about this event but i feel it is well worth the time and effort to ride up to London to take part in this worthy event. It's a slow ride in London with meeting points both on the north and south side of the river Thames and then meet up to ride to the spot where Lee Rigby was killed to lay flowers and pay your respect to this victim of maniacs.

It seems that there are a couple of different meeting points i have read about this is the south meeting point.

Meet at Blackheath Tea hut 10 30am leaving 11 00am for Woolwich ferry to meet main ride from the North side of the river at 12 00

This is the North meeting point.

Meet from 11am at McDonalds car park Gallions reach Beckton leave at mid day for the short ride to the Woolich Ferry, riders from the Northern Terminal will meet up with riders from South Terminal then take the short ride up John Wilson Street to the spot Lee was murdered, lay flowers and pay respect to the fallen soldier.

All Clubs and Solos welcome to attend this ride.
No Politics Please.
No hijacking this as a demo, this is a peaceful ride of respect nothing more.

I have looking on you tube and it seems that most of the scooter clubs around that area all attend, so it wouldn,t be a ride for just sports bikes and choppers.
