Motorbikes
cruise into Burnham-On-Sea during fundraising bike run
A
long line of motorbikes cruised along Burnham seafront on Sunday
(May 13th) at the end of a fundraising bike run in aid of a local
charity.
Over
30 Somerset Motorcycle Group members took part in the charity
ride, which started at Highbridge's Bristol Bridge Inn and headed
to Shepton Mallet and back in aid of Burnham's rescue hovercraft
charity BARB.
 Organiser
Norman Templeman told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "It was a brilliant
ride in lovely weather and it was nice to see some new faces among
the regulars."
"I would like to thank everyone who came along and especially
the marshalls that kept the run so smooth, with no hold ups."
"The ride took us from Highbridge to Taunton, then onto Ilminster,
then for a break at Cartgate Services, before riding onto Shepton
Mallet, and down through Cheddar Gorge, ending up at the Hovercraft
Station on Burnham seafront."
"May
I thank Cartgate Services in Yeovil for their generosity in giving
each rider a free hot drink. The ride raised a total of £180
for BARB."
The group will be as Asda in Highbridge this Saturday from 10am-4pm
for a 'meet the members day' when they will be collecting and
selling merchandise for the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance.
