Riders are also encouraged to share photographs for inclusion across the charity’s social media pages.

As part of the annual RTSL event, hundreds of bikers are invited to make their way through the glorious countryside and villages across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire each year.

The decision was made to cancel this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kelly Geoghegan, fundraising events coordinator, said: “Our RTSL event has always been a hit with our local biking community.

“We are truly devastated to see the event cancelled this year, and we know many of our supporters will have been disappointed by this.

“We’ve launched this year’s ‘Ride the Route’ so our amazing supporters can still get on their motorbikes to support LNAA, whilst helping us raise vital funds.

“We were aiming to raise around £12,000 at this year’s RTSL, so we’re hoping that with the support of our amazing biking community, we can help make up this shortfall.
