Start Locations 2011

The hot news for this year is that Ride To The Wall is evolving!

For 2011 onwards, RTTW is evolving into something that has never been done before in the UK, with some SEVEN starting points around the country being utilised to allow riders to gather with kindred spirits on the event.

Each starting place will have clearly identifiable marshals to assist along with full toilet and refreshment facilities to allow riders to rest prior to the organised ride in start.

Once the departure time is reached marshals will assist with exiting the start point and event marshals will lead riders from every departure point direct to the National Memorial Arboretum, a distance of around 100 miles.

Arrival at the Arboretum will be timed to allow plenty of time to explore the beautiful complex of memorials and have lunch before the main remembrance service commences, and the staff of the Arboretum will ensure many more things to experience than in previous years.

Drayton Manor will still be used for those riders who wish to display association flags, those from the military who wish to ride on the event and those who are camping or will be using the new hotel but please note, that due to Health and Safety requirements, spaces are limited to 850 motorcycles this year based on a first-come basis via the RTTW Registration page.

This a very important step up in terms of ride logistics, and takes into consideration those who feel the ‘ride’ part of Ride To The Wall should be a more focussed affair along with shortening queues and waiting times that have been the case in the past.

Important

All the services operators are very much looking forward to welcoming Ride to The Wall 2011.

Please note: We have been informed by the service station operators that there is a two hour parking limit at the services. This is managed and monitored externally and as much as they would like to they cannot extend this limit on a local basis. So by all means get there early and use all the facilities but be mindful of the two hour limit.

For all routes that use the toll road, please note that by kind permission of the toll road operator no charge will be made to Ride To The Wall 2011 participants.
