Raising Funds for MacMillan Cancer Support


Who are we?
- A group of female bikers who gather together and take over the West Coast of Scotland for a weekend to raise funds for MacMillan Cancer Support. Started in 2008 by our founder Shirley-Ann, who wanted to do something on the behalf of her friend Aly who was terminally ill with breast cancer. MacMillan Cancer Support had provided a great deal of help and support and this was Shirley-Ann's way of giving something back. In the past four years we have raised a staggering £181,000!
- To firstly raise funds for MacMillan Cancer Support.
- To raise the profile of female bikers.
- Have FUN!
When does the run take place?
- Usually the last bank holiday weekend in May but thanks to the Queens Jubilee it will be the first week in June (1st - 4th June).
Can anyone take part?
- Yes! We have spaces for around 80 females and a few men (we need to take some muscle with us), if you are interested in joining us, email us at breastwayround@aol.com for a registration pack.
But I only ride a 125cc bike on L plates...
- Thats fine, we have riders with all levels of ability taking part in the ride, you will be within a group of riders with similar ability.
What is the route?
- We leave Kilmarnock Football ground and travel to our first nights stop at Oban via Gourock and Inverary.
- Day two sees us travel to Fort William, then continue in a loop covering Drumnadrochit, Inverness, Aviemore and back to Fort William.
- Day 3 is an open day, giving you a chance to explore the Fort William area.
- Day 4 we ride through the magnificent Glencoe, along the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond to our final destination at the Loch Lomond Shores complex in Balloch.
