A massive procession of up to 40,000 motorbikes is currently making its way to Cumbria to honor the memory of TV chef Dave Myers. This marks the third and final 'Dave Day' celebration, paying tribute to the 66-year-old Hairy Biker in his hometown of Barrow. The event began at London's Ace Cafe, with riders expected to reach Ulverston and then Barrow on Saturday afternoon.
Authorities have alerted the public to potential traffic disruptions along the route, including diversions and road closures in Barrow. Spectators are advised to stay behind barriers. Previous Dave Day events have been highly successful in fundraising, with over £259,000 donated to charity across the inaugural rides. Organizers have indicated that this year's event will be the last due to funding and logistical challenges, making it a final, large-scale tribute to loved ones.
