The final Dave Day ride in honour of Hairy Biker Dave Myers raised more than £111,000 for charity.
This year's event, which saw an estimated 40,000 bikers travel from London to Barrow, took place on June 20.
On what would have been Dave's 69th birthday on September 8, organiser Jason Woodcock revealed that a total of £111,095.68 was donated.

He said: "I just want to say thank you to everybody, this just doesn't happen without everybody getting involved.
"And a huge thank you to Adelle [Hutton] from me for putting this all together and helping Lili [Myers] and I, she's a legend and we'll keep working together to make something happen, which hasn't been decided yet."
Half of the proceeds - a total of £55,546.93 - is going to NSPCC Childline whilst Project John, Advantage Barrow Raiders and Blood Bikes - the chosen causes having an impact in Barrow - will get £18,515.98 each.

The announcement follows the £134,102.44 raised in 2025 and the £127,000 donated through Dave Day's debut in 2024.
Jason admitted that online fundraising was 'well down' on what had initially been hoped but that, due to the 'amazing work' of volunteers and sponsors, this year was still a success.
Barrow BID, who were thanked for doing a 'fantastic job, were given £10,000 for taking on the responsibility of organising the ride's arrival in Barrow and the subsequent events, which came from sponsorship money and not public donations.

To add to the online page, money was raised through merchandise, a charity football match, a concert at Barrow Raiders, events in the town centre, and in-person collections.
"Without you [the public], no matter how small a part you played, this didn't happen and it wouldn't have happened," Jason added.
"So thank you from the bottom of my heart, I love you all, ride safe, stay safe."
