Leaving from Swan Green Lyndhurst Cricket Ground at 11 o'clock, Sunday 8 June, postcode SO43 7TD
Route will be 50 miles through the New Forest National Park.
For those who did not have the pleasure of knowing Mike Bond, Mike worked at Scottish and Southern energys Malwood depot, Minstead.
He sadly lost his life in 2006 to cancer aged only 46 years. He is missed by everyone in the depot, we keep his memory alive with this rideout every year and also to raise money for charities that would be close to my heart.
Starting from Swan Green Cricket Ground Lyndhurst, and finishing at Mike's old local The Swan Inn, Bournemouth Road, off the cricket ground.
Myself (Steve Ford) and Kevin Lyn will be there from 9:30 a.m..
