GENEROUS Shaun Wright-Phillips gets on his bike ahead of his charity trek across California.
The QPR winger enlisted his footie pals Ashley Cole, Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou to join him on his two-wheeled adventure.
Wayne Rooney was also due to saddle-up, but he called in sick with a hangover before the gang set off.
The bike ride was sponsored by EagleRider Motorcycles Tours, and a rep for the company revealed the Man Utd ace had to cancel after a heavy night on the sauce.
Wayne is currently holidaying in Los Angeles with his wife Coleen following England’s bitterly disappointing performance at Euro 2012.
However, Shaun and his friends looked in fine shape as they donned crash helmets before cruising through LA.
The charity trip raised funds for Arms Around The Child – a non-profit organisation that helps African orphans affected by AIDS and HIV.
Shaun has hosted four similar events in his native Britain, raising around £100,000 for good causes.
The speedy footie star rode his own bike, taking a leg-flashing blonde for a spin, while Ashley opted to travel shotgun.
The motorbike posse journeyed through the LA South Bay areas of Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes and ended up in San Pedro, where they ate a BBQ lunch and kicked a ball around with local kids.
Although Ashley didn’t appear up for much action as he sat down at the side of the road, striker Didier had a ball playing football.
The Ivory Coast star has recently left Chelsea for Chinese Super League team Shanghai Shenhua.
He’s reportedly signed a two-and-a-half year deal earning him £200,000 a week.
