00:23Jason, this is the sixth year you've done this event now. It must be

00:28It's really tough hasn't it?

00:31Yeah, I mean the support again as you can see here this morning is absolutely amazing

00:36Every year it just seems to get bigger and bigger. You know, we're fighting for justice for Ryan. This is a ride for justice

00:42we've always said we'll never give up and

00:45We're confident. We're getting closer and closer and thanks to these people

01:02It's going to be quite poignant isn't it? Your first stop is going to be in Starbridge

01:05You're going to ride around the ring road and then stop at the site of a former Chicago

01:11nightclub there. Yeah, we stop there

01:14We go four times around the ring road and then we go down the high street and we stop outside Chicago

01:19There should be quite a lot of people down there as well supporting this campaign

01:23And I want to say a big thank you to the public as well because they support this campaign every year and

01:29You know, my brother will be down there and my family with the yellow book. It's collecting donations and money. So just keep supporting it

01:37And Jason there is going to be an update. I know you've been working with the police on the

01:42Reinvestigation into Ryan's death any update on that? I know there's something. Yeah, I mean, you know what I can say

01:48We're in regular communications with the new detectives from West Midlands Police that are reinvestigating Ryan's murder

01:54We meet with them every couple of months a week. Yeah, there's obviously a lot of information

01:58We can't write the public domain just yet

02:00But West Midlands Police mark the anniversary will be releasing a video appeal out to the public

02:06So when that appeal comes out we ask again if the public can share that help us

02:11You know, we are getting closer and closer to justice and it may be the public that helps us get over the line

02:16Yeah, and as well as keeping the campaign in the public domain

02:21This is probably going to be a celebration today. It's when you come back to the pub

02:25There's families here. It looks like it's going to be a big event

02:29Yeah, I mean, I would love that, you know, you'd love to see everybody celebrating, you know, it's life and everything
