FUN RIDE SCHEDULED CLB Fun ride scheduled Team Bermuda Motorcycle Club will be holding another free fun ride this weekend.

The pack will leave City Hall at 11 a.m. on Sunday and journey around the Island.

"We invite all styles of motorcycles and all kinds of people from young to old so come out and let's ride,'' a Team spokesman said. "Support our efforts to set up a motor sports track on the base lands.'' The group has suggested a multi-purpose racing track could double as a tourist attraction and local hot-spot, solving problems such as dwindling visitor statistics and youth boredom.

So far, Team Bermuda has collected more than 3,000 signatures in support of building a top-notch racing facility.
