ONE FOR THE DIARY!

Dave Day Bike Ride (No.3) 2026

NB: On Saturday 20th June the Ace will be open from 5.30am with the ride departing the cafe at 7am.

The aim of Dave Day is to smash the fundraising goal and to spread hope and happiness to all regardless of who you are or where you’re from whilst honouring and remembering ‘Hairy Biker’ the late Dave Myers and all other lost loved ones. The organisers want to replace I’m having a great day with "I’m having a Dave Day!" whilst raising as much as they can for great causes.

All funds raised will be split, 50% to Childline and the other 50% being donated to causes in Barrow in Furness

Last year’s event (2025) saw the 36000 of the UK motorcycle community pull together and ride to Dave's home town of Barrow in Furness, which in 2024 saw over 46000 riders take part!
