The Cardiff Motorcycle Action Group are set to mount their bikes on 19 November to raise money for charity. <\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cMods and Rockers charity run\u201d will see the riders travel a 113 mile loop from Cardiff to Talgarth and back in aid of Autism Puzzles<\/a> and the Motorcycle Action Group. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Motorcycle Action Group is a UK wide, volunteer-led riders\u2019 rights organisation which aims to protect and promote motorcycling. <\/span><\/p>\n

Autism Puzzles aims to offer support and resources to families with autistic children.<\/span><\/p>\n

Local mother Karen Sullivan set up the charity in 2011 after lacking a support system when both of her children were diagnosed with autism. She told Wales Online<\/a>: <\/span>\u201cYou can speak to anyone about what you are going through, but the only people who understand how you feel 100% are other parents with a child on the spectrum.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rob Matthews, co-organiser of the charity run, said the event combines the group\u2019s love of motorcycling and activism. \u201cWe have been doing runs like this for thirty odd years. A true biker just loves to ride, and if you can raise money while doing that then even better,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that although there are many different motorcycling clubs throughout Cardiff, the charity run brings everyone together for a common cause. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the amount of help one club gives us we let them choose the charity for the year,” Rob explains. “They also do their own fund raising and then all the money is put together and presented to the charity concerned.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year Cardiff MAG presented the Blood Bikers, volunteer motorcyclists for the NHS, with \u00a3670. <\/span><\/p>\n

The run is open to anyone who can ride at least 50 mph and will leave from outside the Earl Haig memorial club at 10:30 am. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
