CYCLISTS are being invited to saddle-up for an annual charity bike ride through the Lincolnshire Wolds to help beat blood cancers.
The 15th Grimsby Bikeathon in aid of Leukaemia And Lymphoma Research will start from Ravendale Farm, at East Ravendale, on Sunday, May 12.
Paula Turnbull, from the Grimsby and district branch of the charity, said 26-mile and ten-mile routes will be available.
She added: "The bikeathon is open to everyone, from families to serious cycling enthusiasts, and provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy the wonderful setting while raising much-needed funds for this great cause.
"We hope as many people as possible will come along and help us to make this year's event a record breaker.
"The route has plenty to challenge the most experienced of riders and also offers families a great day out."
In the past 50 years, the group has raised more than £850,000 for research into leukaemia and lymphoma – and hopes to top £1 million soon.
Every year, members organise four major events – the bikeathon, a golf day and two shopping events.
The 26-mile bikeathon route begins at 9.30am, with the ten-mile route kicking off at 10.30am.
Entries can be made online at www.grimsbybikeathon.com until Monday, May 6.
Advance fees are £10 for adults and £3 for under 16s, or you can pay £15 for adults and £5 for children on the day.
