£100,000 has been raised by the memorial bike ride - in memory of Hairy Biker Dave Myers.
Earlier this months, thousands celebrated Dave Day and rode from London to Barrow in his memory.
Dave died of cancer back in February - aged just 66
Organisers say the money will be split between Childline - and the Institute of Cancer Research.
He spent many years starring in the TV cooking show Hairy Bikers alongside Si King, who was among huge crowds who took part in the ride along to Barrow.
Speaking at the time he said;
"It's remarkable. It's an affirmation of the character of my best friend. Every overbridge that we go under, there've been people stood three deep.
"It's just an affirmation of the love that everyone has for Dave."
Dave's wife Lilli Myers also told us it was a really poignant day:
"The camaraderie here - you can just feel it.
"They're all here to celebrate my late husband - and I can't be more grateful than I am.
"I'm just overwhelmed with the response that this event has had - it's amazing.
"All these people have turned up wearing wonderful coloured shirts. It's a picture - it's amazing."
