Thousands of motor bike riders, mainly with Harley Davidsons, will meet at 11am at Aust Services crossing the Severn Bridge and visiting various villages before ending their ride in Chepstow where there will be a street party and music to celebrate this event. Shops pubs and restaurants will be opening for the day. For bike enthusiasts its becoming the 'must see' event with more and more bikers joining in every year. The bikers raise money for local charities and good causes.
Over 4000 bikers are expected to take part this year travelling from all over the world. The procession will slow down for the public to view the bikes and colourful gear and this year it is expected to take more than an hour to go past.

The event originated when local shop owner Rod Bate started the event more than 10 years ago. Rod's lifelong passions for the Harley Davidson made him think that it would be a good idea to bring together maybe 100 - 200 riders. The event has grown from there.
The Harley Davidson Motor Company started in 1903 in Milwaukee Wisconsin and the iconic bike has been the dream machine of most serious bikers ever since.
From 6:00 am to 7:00 pm the following roads will probably be closed:
High Street
Nelson Street
St Mary's Street
Middle Street
Hocker Hill
Beaufort Square
Bank Street
There will be a one way system around the town.
