The Heavy Metal Truants, the charity fundraising cycling club co-founded by Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood and former Metal Hammer editor-in-chief Alexander Milas, ride again this year, heading off to Download from London's Alexandra Palace on Tuesday June 6 and arriving on site around lunchtime on Thursday June 8.
The charity's annual 150-mile sponsored bike ride from London to Donington Park has raised over £1,200,000 on the past decade for four charities, Teenage Cancer Trust, Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy, Childline, and Save The Children. This, the eleventh ride, sees them looking to go one louder, in the finest Spinal Tap tradition!
