Eddie Kidd Charity Ride South Wales to Colwyn Bay

Eddie Kidd Charity Ride-Out to Colwyn Bay

Sunday 21 April 2019

In April 2019, Bryn Woodlands House was proud to sponsor and support a remarkable charity ride-out in honour of motorcycle legend Eddie Kidd OBE. Bikers embarked from South Wales and made their way toward Colwyn Bay, with many riders joining en route. The day was more than just a ride—it was a heartfelt show of community, passion, and support.

The Ride & Purpose

  • The event, titled Eddie Kidd Fights Back, invited motorcycle enthusiasts to ride from South Wales to Colwyn Bay to raise funds for Eddie’s rehabilitation and support following his accident. Bayside Radio Colwyn Bay

  • Riders joined from various points throughout the route, culminating in a celebratory arrival in Colwyn Bay, where many attendees could meet Eddie in person.

  • Registration fees, donations, and support from local sponsors helped raise a significant amount for the cause.

What Made It Special

  • The spirit of unity among riders of all backgrounds.

  • Local businesses and volunteers rallied to provide refreshments, safety marshals, and logistical support.

  • The chance for fans and attendees to meet Eddie Kidd and celebrate his legacy.

  • Through contributions and community effort, the ride raised £1,618 for charity. (This was reported at the time among the event summaries.)
