Afghan Hero Bike run Today

[Guest]

This is what the Pints are taking part in today. Will have pics later today at some point. A bit chilly this morning but it is for a good cause. Sun is shining so weather is good too.

on the airfield at hullavington: just the start of 16,000 bikes arriving for the run. there were 12 rows of 2 abreast and at least 1 mile long each just to give you a picture of how many are there.
