Fundraising officer, Alana Hardy said: "With only two weeks to go, places for this year’s Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge are really filling up.

"It’s our 13th year in the saddle, so be sure not to miss out on what will be another fantastic day; the atmosphere is amazing and the event brings people from across the two counties we serve together, whilst raising much-needed funds for our life-saving service."

With only 600 positions available, cyclists can participate as individuals or groups.

If interested, you are asked to raise at least £50 in sponsorship.
