Having taken place in Bomber County since 2019 (where our first programmes were delivered in 2012), this year’s JETRide sees our 60 and 100 mile routes become designated RAF Heritage Trails taking in some of the county’s most iconic heritage sites. 

From our founding story in 2011, to our current Blue Skies programmes led by inspiring military volunteers, the RAF sits at the heart of the Jon Egging Trust. Our JETRiders too have a strong connection to the RAF; many are serving members, veterans, or part of the wider RAF family.

 

Honour the past, support the future

Both our 60 and 100 mile cycle routes will be RAF Heritage Trails in 2023, taking in some of Lincolnshire’s most iconic RAF sites. At every stop, riders will be given the opportunity to learn more about the region’s rich military history, and hear stories of endeavour, courage and adversity.

RAF heritage not your thing? No problem! The routes follow two beautiful circuits around the Lincolnshire countryside so just enjoy this inclusive ride in way that suits you (as long as you are being safe at all times!).
