The ride began in Netley on Thursday. COPS is a charity which supports the families of officers who have died in the line of duty. "This will be my second time leading the tour on behalf of Hampshire Police and my fifth time riding. "This is all achieved through relentless support for our fallen colleagues and survivors, to honour their memory and support the families left behind. Last year, the team raised more than £25,000 for the charity, contributing to a national total of more than £300,000.
