This years Grim Riders MCC Charity ride has now closed and the results have been published.

52 riders took part this year helping raise £1280 for the the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.

17 gained a Gold Award by visiting fifteen battlefields, with 6 exceptional riders visiting all sixteen battlefields on the list (including the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland) and achieving a Special Gold Award.

5 riders gained a Silver Award by visiting at least ten battlefields.

9 riders gained a Bronze Award after visiting at least five battlefields.

Our very own Bob and Bonzo were part of the 6 riders awarded the Special Gold Award whist Rig and Chinny were awarded Gold awards.

Dave Winter not only managed to visit all 15 battlefields but did so in one go in a total time of 45 hrs 34 mins, you can read all about his journey here.

During 2010 we had some great rides, found some fantastic roads, met some 'interesting' people and once again Bob visited a number of Battlefields twice, here's a Google Map of all battlefields we have visited in 2010.

If you want an excuse to get out on your bike next year and feel that you’re doing something to help a worthwhile cause, head over to the Grim Riders MCC website and sign up for next year’s challenge, it's going to be great fun!

It's a great excuse to get out on my bike, visit some places around the UK that I would never have normally been to, help raise money for charity (Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance) and a reason to spend a few weekends away with my mates on our bikes.
