IF you fancy getting on your bike this summer, then make it worthwhile and do it for St Catherine's Hospice!

The Ribble Valley Cycle Ride on June 29 is open to all levels of cyclists from novice to racing standard.

There are three routes, each setting off from and returning to Preston College: a 20-miler round Chipping for the uninitiated; a 30-mile trip through Bleasdale; and a 55-mile journey over the Trough of Bowland.

So if you feel like taking up the challenge, simply write to the Appeals Dept, St Catherine's Hospice, Lostock Lane, Lostock Hall, Preston PR5 5XU requesting a sponsor form - and get ready to get pedalling!
