THE team at Total Triumph hope the 13th annual Alan Mossman Memorial Ride will be the biggest and best yet.

The annual event has attracted more than 100 bikers each year, who have clocked up more than 120,000 miles in total and raised in excess of £18,000 for charity.

The event was set up in memory of managing director Neil Mossman’s father, who was closely involved with the local motorcycle community, to support causes close to his heart. This year’s ride is raising funds for St Margaret’s Somerset Hospice and Freewheelers EVS Blood Bikes.

The event is on Sunday, October 6 – registration is at Total Triumph from 9am with breakfast available to purchase from Sarah at Total Snacks. Riders will set off at 10.30am to take in biking roads on the Somerset and Devon border, with a midway stop at Woody Bay station, before returning to the Total Triumph dealership. Back there, lunch will be served and the winning raffle numbers will be chosen.

Entry is £15 per bike booked in advance, which includes a free gift. It is possible to ride without pre-booking – entry is £20 per bike on the day. No additional charge is made for pillion passengers and a food voucher is included in the entry price. Advance ticket sales close at 10am on Saturday, October 5.

Anyone unable to attend can still support the event and charities by buying raffle tickets. Both event tickets and raffle tickets are available at the www.totaltriumph.co.uk website or from the Total Triumph Taunton showroom.
