The decision was made to cancel this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kelly Geoghegan, fundraising events co-ordinator, said: “Our annual RTSL event has always been a hit with our local biking community, with hundreds of riders taking to the streets to support our wonderful charity.

"We are truly devastated to see the event cancelled this year, and we know that many of our supporters will have been disappointed by this.

“We’ve launched this year’s Ride the Route so that our amazing supporters can still get on their motorbikes to support LNAA, whilst helping us raise vital funds.

"We were hoping to raise around £12,000 at this year’s RTSL, so we’re hoping that with the support of our amazing biking community, we can help make up this shortfall.

“We are hoping that many of our biker friends will be taking to the streets of Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire to help keep our ambucopter flying.

"And we are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to our next RTSL event in 2021.”
