HUNDREDS of bikers are expected to take to the Island’s roads next weekend to raise money for a charity that provides holidays in Jersey for injured members of the British armed forces.

The Big Ride Out, which runs from St Catherine’s Breakwater to Corbière and finishes at the Watersplash, will take place on Sunday in aid of Holidays for Heroes Jersey.

The annual event is limited to 750 bikes and will be led out by the outgoing chair of the charity, Richard Harwood.

He said: “This is a massive event for Holidays for Heroes which is enjoyed by riders and the viewing public alike. Tickets may well sell out well before the ride, and we would ask those who are not able to get tickets to respect the commitment made by the charity to the authorities. Only bikes with stickers on will be able to join the ride.”

Tickets are available now from OBB, Mansells, and Inmotion for a minimum cash donation of £10.

Riders who purchase their tickets in advance will also be automatically entered into a raffle to win one year of free motorcycle insurance, courtesy of Islands Insurance.
