Last year at this time John Foster, one of our good friends, major supporter of our shop and monthly shop runs, asked us if we could do our annual charity run for Beatson Cancer Charity as he had been receiving care for a number of years from the Beatson and wanted to give something back. However, as we had already been planning the one for Calums Cabin behind the scenes for a number of weeks we had to tell John that unfortunately it wasnt possible for 2024 but we would definitely do it for the next one in 2025. Sadly, as someof you are aware, John passed away earlier this year. So keeping our promise to him- this years charity bike run is therefore for Beatson Cancer Charity and being done in memory of John. Run details: Start point - MCS Motorcycles (KA3 6JT) 10am meeting for a 11am departure Stop at Esso A82, Dumbarton G82 2AR (Lomondgate)- to meet additional riders/regroup Finish Point - The Green Welly, Tyndrum FK20 8RY 125cc friendly route Map Link:https://maps.app.goo.gl/ADhUMSeewqd4pwfB7 If using this please set your options to avoid motorways 10 voluntary charity donation is asked.

Can we ask that you please share this run with friends,come along if you can, meet new riders and help us raise funds for Beatson Cancer Charity in John's name. It's with great sadness he won't be on the run but we know he'll definitely be with us in spirit.
