DAVE DAY - Saturday 21 June 2025
Today, my sister, bro-in-law and niece all rode their motorbikes in convoy with thousands of others to celebrate Dave Day.
Dave Myers was half of the popular 'Hairy Bikers' TV cooking duo [the other half being his friend Si King], who sadly died of cancer in February 2024.
This was the second Dave Day, organised by Dave's wife Liliana Orzac and Woody, Dave's best friend. Last year, there were 45,000 bikers travelling on the route from London to Barrow-in-Furness where Dave grew up.
On the Dave Day website, it says:
"The aim of Dave Day is to spread hope and happiness to all regardless of who you are or where you’re from whilst honouring and remembering Dave and all other lost loved ones.
We want to replace I’m having a great day with ‘I’m having a Dave Day!” whilst raising as much as we can for great causes."This year, Dave Day is supporting the NSPCC Childline and CancerCare.

My bro-in-law said, after the event:
"The day was brilliant. We didn't mind the bit of rain we had. It cooled us for a while. Riding into Barrow we felt like celebrities - every street into the town centre was lined with people waving the convoy in."
