🏍 Remembering in Red: The 2025 Ring of Red Ride

Sunday, 9th November 2025, the motorcycling community once again came together in a powerful act of remembrance. Thousands of riders joined the Ring of Red Ride around the M25 and M60, donning red to form a moving poppy in honour of the UK’s armed forces.

A Tribute Framed by Autumn

Against a backdrop of crisp autumn skies and falling leaves, riders from across the country gathered at designated meeting points from 10:00 am before setting off on their clockwise routes at approximately 13:30.

Wearing red gear, displaying poppies and flags with many accompanied with pillion passengers, participants transformed the motorways into a living, moving tribute. The turnout once again reflected the strength, unity and shared sense of purpose that define the biking community’s role in Remembrance Sunday.

Highlights of the Day

This year’s event saw thousands of riders take part in the coordinated M25 (London) and M60 (Manchester) loops, forming a striking red ring visible from bridges and overpasses across both routes.

Riders of every kind took part: from motorcycle clubs and independent bikers to family pillion passengers and proud flag-bearers. The Ring of Red Ride remains free and non-competitive, with voluntary donations supporting veteran charities.

Each year, this simple yet powerful act of remembrance grows in meaning, uniting the motorcycling community in reflection, gratitude and pride.
