Last Sunday saw another successful charity fundraising event with a difference which started at Aust Services and ended at the Chepstow Racecourse.

This amazingly well-organised and attended annual charity gets together and attracts close to 4000 motorbikes and riders.

One man describes this as a “motorcycle museum on the move”, which, to me, sums up this unique event perfectly.

The public turn out to line the streets in their thousands, providing support and donations as the bikes make their way through local towns and villages.

The bikers end up at Chepstow Racecourse where there is time to chill out with food, drink and entertainment.

In 2014, more than £13,000 was raised for the benefit of many local charities.

Bikers often get so much bad press, but they have huge hearts and an amazing knack of pulling together to making events such as Hoggin’ the Bridge so spectacular and worthwhile.

Let’s hope they can top last year’s donations so many charities will benefit from this great event.
