Calling all bikers, yes its that time again where the BARN has its annual bike run in memory of Isobel Whan. Amazing to see that this run is the sixth year that the event has taken place. We had an amazing turn out last year and it seems every year it grows and grows.
Let's see how many bikes we can attract this year and try to beat last year! Scooters, tricycles, choppers, street or road bikes ALL WELCOME to take part.
