Roads closed. Unity Riders in. Weather dry (one can hope).
SUPPORT NOW PLEASE!
The quote came from Linda Wilsmore of the Ace Café.
Support here whether roads were closed, open or we rode on pavements. 
Toy already bought and even collaring non-London Bikers to come and ride (although I may badger them into joining after).
So for those of us who’ve not met before, how will we recognise each other at the Ace? Carnations in the lapel? 
The Unity Riders are definitely now on board - unfortunately only four police riders though.
thats all the BTP could get…at the end of the day 4 police is better than nothing…
It just means the USR’s will have to work extra hard…
So PLease support the toy run
I plan to be there in orange.
I hope to be there this Sunday in orange too lol! But anyone have any idea what time this will finish?
Just lost a biker, down to 3x BTP… we will do our best to make it work… worst case we go slow or take a stop to keep everyone safe. If I get a replacement I’ll update.
Glad you’re on board and glad you’re willing to work as hard to make this work.
Plan is to be back to the ace for around 3pm. But if you need to shoot off you can leave the group and go your own way.
See you on the day!
Managed to get the news item up on the front page!
" Important:
- Please also note that the hospitals advise that stuffed cuddly toys are not advisable due to the risk of infection
- Sweets of any kind are not permitted."
Its with deep regret that I must say this…
Unfortunately BTP will not be in attendance for the Toy Run. Someone will visit to drop off gifts we’ve collected, but due to a resource requirement beyond my control the officers will not be able to attend.
I apologise for getting hopes up and its heart breaking that we won’t be able to see through something we’ve worked hard to support. I’m gutted I can’t be there.
I’ve informed the organisers and I think them for their understanding (personally if I was them I’d be fuming, but they have taken the news well).
I hope you all have a great day!
So far the Unity Riders are still on board to help this, but it is going to be a different ride with no police escort.
Yep we carry on and look after ourselves.
We have 20 support riders willing to point out the route and keep us all together.
We may have to change the route a bit and it will take a lot longer but we ARE GOING ON THE TOY RUN.
See you all on Sunday
Steve
It will still be a good ride. 
Looking forward to it. Appreciate everyone’s efforts to make this a success.
Got some presents, decorated the bike, bought some more warm weather gear! All fired up and ready to go!
4 bags of presents donated from BTP and delivered to the ace already. Shame I can’t be there.
Have fun!
See ya there with my fellow PolishBikers.
Feel like total crap this morning with a sore throat and headache, i will have to miss the ride now.
Toy bought and waiting to be wrapped. Just making myself presentable before doing so.
I’ve no idea what anyone looks like - I’ll be the lonely looking lass! Look out for short platinum blonde hair, a white and leopard print jacket (yes, seriously) and white fairy wings!
You will look just like everyone else then!
