YEOVIL NEWS: Bikers support Mayor Mike’s Jurassic Jaunt!

FUNDS were raised today (Friday, April 3, 2015) for the special care baby unit at Yeovil District Hospital with a charity 112-mile motorbike ride through Somerset and Dorset.

The event – hosted by the Mayor of Yeovil, Cllr Mike Lock, in conjunction with the Westland Classic Motorbike Club – saw bikers assemble at Yeovil Rugby Club on Dorchester Road.

The wet morning weather failed to dampen the enthusiasm of a convoy of bikers from turning up and enjoying a hearty breakfast at the rugby club before setting off on the route entitled Mayor Mike’s Jurassic Jaunt.
