THE Thames Bridge Bike Ride is one of the few events in the calendar which allow participants to tour London, exercise and raise money for charity all in the same day. And there are still a few places left in this year's exciting event.

The sixth annual Thames Bridge Bike Ride, which raise vital funds for The Stroke Association, will be held on Sunday, May 13.

Last year more than 1,600 cyclists took part and between them they raised more than £90,000 for the charity. The ride, which starts at Tower Bridge and ends opposite Hampton Court, is open to cyclists of all ages and abilities.

Anyone who wishes to take part in the ride should call the 24 hour hotline on 020 7566 0311, e-mail nationalevents@stroke.org.uk or download the enrolment form at www.stroke.org.uk

So please get on your bike to help us make this year's Thames Bridge Bike Ride the most successful ever.
