Riders In The Sky is a charity raising money for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance service – vital for motorcyclists up and down the country. The charity was launched after its founders lost a friend and avid biker, Lee Baker, in a motorcycle accident in 2010. RITS have so far raised £18,000 and the annual ride out is scheduled to start in Glastonbury on May 19th.
The last two years have seen around 2000 riders congregate for a 70 mile thrash over some of Lee’s favourite roads, including Cheddar Gorge. As you can see, it’ll be a lively ride.
As well as the morning ride-out, there’s plenty going on back at base in Glastonbury, with an auction, live music, kids entertainment, and a load more. Lee himself was a keen charity supporter and the legacy will continue. Go to the RITS website and have a gander…
