No idea, just wondered why the DT thinks the number is that remarkable when you consider that around 17000 attended Ride To The wall to honour fallen soldiers

NO  :-? I wonder why they are on the motorway.

Seriously maybe it was a motorbike club outing

Maybe it's because the Ride to the Wall is a national, famous event.

Wondered if there were any events at all around Derbyshire.

I know absolutely jack about Motorbikes but I did catch a news item earlier that said the Pope had blessed a huge rally of Harley Davidsons in St Marks Square and it was the 110th anniversary of the HD.
Maybe a Derbyshire event to mark the same?

Nothing obvious on http://cernunnos-mcc.org/whatson/july/ (http://cernunnos-mcc.org/whatson/july/) or Peak Riders but the film is too distant to even see what sort of bikes they are
