Somerset bikers prepare for charity ride

Somerset motorcycle insurance customers will be hosting a charity motorcycle run next month.

The money raised during the 120-mile bike ride around the Somerset countryside on May 16th will be used to support St Margaret's Hospice and is being held in memory of a local motorcyclist, reports the Yeovil Express.

Kicking off at 10:00 BST, the event will also take motorcyclists into Devon, according to the newspaper, with the event concluding at the hospice in Taunton.

Earlier this month, members of the Accrington Motorcycle Club set off on their annual charity bike ride to raise money for food parcels for the RSPCA, reports the Blackburn Citizen.

The club has also planned another event for next month, with bikers heading to the Off Yer Sprocket bike rally between May 28th and May 30th, celebrating its tenth anniversary.

Cars are not welcome at the event, which will feature a new Sprocket Head Challenge this year.
