Story

Mixing motorbikes and beer? Oh yeah!

On Monday 1st and Tuesday 2nd August I will ride to all 30 microbreweries currently operating in Northern Ireland.

The first brewery stops will be near Toome, then I'll hit Portrush, Derry/Londonderry, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Armagh, Mournes, Lisburn, Ards Peninsula and finally Belfast.

It'll be a 400 mile adventure. With a wrist that was broken in April, it'll be very tiring. It had better stay dry. Please stay dry 🙏

I'm riding for the Disasters Emergency Committee's (DEC) Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. What the people of Ukraine are having to deal with is incomprehensible to us from the comfort of our own homes. 

Thanks,

Roy
