Pictures and video: Charity bikers ride for Bugsplatz rally

But for this rally snowmen and Santas took to the streets of Telford as they passed through Ironbridge, Brookside, Madeley and Randlay.

And the rally even made its way to Telford Town Centre during the event on Sunday.

This is the 15th year the rally, which is organised by Bugsplatz Motorcycle Club, has taken place.

It cost £2 for people to take part, with all the money going to the Lingen Davies Cancer Relief Fund at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

Sarah Harrison, Bugsplatz club secretary, said it was a fantastic day with more than 200 bikers getting involved.

"It was a great day," she said. "Everyone loved it and everyone had a great time during the rally.

"Normally we raise money for two charities but this year we decided to give all the money to one.

"It was all in tribute to the club's chairman Paul Myler, whose sister passed away earlier this year.

"Before Julie Stevens passed away she was asked what she would do with a large amount of money and she said she would donate it to the Lingen Davies Cancer Relief Fund at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

"So when we were planning everything for this year's rally we agreed to give the money to that cause only.

"We did really well and managed to raise a total of £1,222.

"Everyone got into the spirit of it and we requested people to donate £2 to take part, but so many people were just giving us £10 and not asking for change.

"It really is a huge community, the biking community, and it really comes across at these events.

"Even the weather held off for us, which was great."

The charity aims to improve cancer services for the relief of cancer patients in Shropshire and Mid Wales, which is done by using specialist equipment and buildings.

Over the years the charity has invested millions to improve the facilities for local cancer patients.

Everyone who took part in the event also dressed up, as it is a tradition of the event.

People were also judged and given prizes for the best costumes. There was also a raffle where the money went to the charity as well.

Miss Harrison added: "We had such a great turnout this year, there was definitely more than 200 bikers. This is the 15th year we have done this event and everyone in the town loves coming out to support us.

"We get so many people asking if we will be going past their houses as they love watching us. Because the event has been going for so long, people really get behind us and love watching us take to streets.

"It takes a good few months to plan, but we do try to keep the route the same."

The event has only been cancelled once, and that was due to the weather as the roads were too dangerous for bikes.
