Around 500 veteran and vintage motorcycles will ride out from the British Motor Museum on various routes as they make their way to Banbury on Sunday, June 16.

The routes vary between 30 and 60 miles and many will hope to make them without breaking down.

Riders will depart at five per minute from 10am with the last leaving at noon. They will begin to return to the museum from 12.30.
