The ages of those riding are varied, with some racing in classes from the six years and under category and others in the 50-plus cruisers.

In total there will be 1,326 other competitors from around the UK, all going for the coveted 01 number plate for their bikes.

Amongst those racing for Ipswich is Rhylee Taylor-Day, a seven-year-old who when younger, was told he wouldn't be able to walk due to muscles not being formed properly.

Suffolk New College student and World Championship competitor Abi Pike will also be going for gold, after recently breaking her elbow.
