The Tablers are taking their six man bike, dubbed the Silver Dream Machine, to Sluis, in Holland, and then cycling to Ypres on Saturday to attend, with the Baton, the Menin Gate ceremony on Remembrance Sunday.
They will then Cycle on to Calais for the return journey.
“These guys have done so much for the local community and this will be one to remember for sure – I know I’ve ridden that bike with them!” Mr Rowe said.
