More than 100 bikers wearing pink bras and vests are setting off on a four-day ride around Scotland in aid of a cancer charity.
The 450-mile tour has been organised in memory of a fellow biker who died from breast cancer last year. Those taking part hope to raise £25,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support. The convoy departs from Kilmarmock and will stop in Oban, Inverness and Fort William before roaring into George Square in Glasgow on Monday. Shirley Ann Barnes, 47, from Kilmarnock, organised the event after her best friend Alyson Porter died from breast cancer last July. She said: “We are all really looking forward to the bike ride. It will be hard going but I know we will all have a really great time. Ms Barnes said she wanted to raise funds for Macmillan because the charity helped her friend.
She added: “Alyson had to give up work because she was so ill and she got into huge financial difficulties. She actually said the stress from worrying about money was worse than her worries about her illness.
