The REME Charity

Ride To The Wall (RTTW) is an unique motorcycling event, which gives the motorcyclist an opportunity to gather together at a place of Remembrance in a spiritually uplifting arena located in the heart of country, Staffordshire. It enables bikers to pay their respects to our serving and fallen servicemen and women, and in doing so raise funds solely for the purposes of perpetuating their memory and recognising the sacrifices made.

This year approximately 9,000 bikers (and a 16,000 gathering) descended on the National Memorial Arboretum to pay homage. An annual event taking place on the first Saturday of October, bikers riding from all over the Kingdom and Europe rekindling friendships. A truly beautiful environment, with 30,000 maturing trees and over 300 magnificent memorials, set in many acres of immaculate and humbling surroundings. Without doubt a world class lasting tribute to those who have served their country and to the fallen in conflict.
