10th Anniversary Tortoise and Hare Run.
Sunday 22nd May 2011.
A very well attended event, with over 100 entries from all around the UK (and Australia)!
A great event to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Wells Classic Motorcycle Club, which was officiated by the Town Crier Len Sweales, with both the Tortoise and Hare Run's being started by the Mayor of Wells Clr Danny Unwin.
Once everyone had reported their arrival at Wells City Football Club, they made their way to Wells Market Place, prior to leaving for a number of scenic routes through the Somerset countryside, enjoying some wonderfull scenery along the way. All routes were marshalled, making the event an easy and enjoyable ride for all those partaking in the event.
A few short showers in the morning made sure that everyone was refreshed, and the sun then shone for lunch and the rest of the day. A number of awards were presented, along with some great raffle prizes.
Below are a small selection of photographs of the day. We would welcome any other pictures that you have taken of the event - please get in touch via the website.

Just a quick message to say thank you for a great day out, everything was so well organised I assumed this run had been going on for many years, couldnt believe it was the 1st one! I was a bit concerned being on a "monkeybike" as to how I would be received at a "classic" event,but I thought I'd go along anyway as there might be some cake. Not a wasted journey, the fruit cake was superb!, and what a friendy bunch!, I couldnt have been made more welcome, really enjoyed the rides through the lanes, this is exactly what I use my bike for, exploring and pootling about...
Well done, keep up the good work and hope to see you again.

Thank you for a well organised tortoise and hare run, most enjoyable day, from two tortoises from the Taunton club. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for a fantastic day out on Sunday You made us both feel very welcome. It was a great way to see a different part of the countryside without fear of getting lost. Your marshalling system was excellent. Thanks again.
I justed wanted to say thank you for the putting on the excellent Tortoise & Hare run that I took part in last Sunday, I had a really great day and despite not knowing anyone when I arrived I soon found people to have a chat with. It was nice to be able to enter on my 1989 BMW as I have found too often that the cut off dates for the age of the bikes on other runs usually mean I cannot enter on any of my BMW'S which are all from the 1980's.
It was a very well organised day and my thanks go to everyone who organised it and helped to run it on the day, I will certainly be back next year.
