The popular event was in its 19th year, and is organised by the Phillips family of Honiton.

The 26-mile ride, which set off from the Otter Inn in Weston on Saturday features six stops around East Devon.

A barbecue lunch was also held at The Thirsty Farmer in Whimple, before a hog roast and live music at the Otter Inn.

Many of those taking part wore fancy dress for the event.

Speaking before the bike ride, Adrian Phillips, who owns Millstream Taxis in Honiton, said: “This is all for a great cause - you never know when you are going to need the air ambulance.

“All of the money will stay in Devon.”

Last year’s bike ride raised more than £5,000 for the air ambulance.
