Charity Ride-out 2011

The Triangle MCC have an annual motorcycle ride-out for different charities nominated by our members. The Charity run this year is on 29th August Bank Holiday Monday and is in Aid of Equipment for Trauma & Orthopaedic Wards at Ipswich Hospital.

On previous rides funds have been raised for The Children's Wards at Ipswich Hospital and various other charities.  As this is open to non-members; all riders and passengers are welcome, with the Triangle club members taking on marshalling and route direction roles.

The route is usually around 50 miles in length travelling for the most part on interesting country roads and finishing usually at a point of interest with catering facilities, etc.
