A spokesman for Cransley Hospice Trust said: “Whether you like cycling off-road, on-road, on holiday or just around your local area it doesn’t matter, cyclists can choose their own distance, all that we ask is that cyclists use their pedal power between now and the September 30.
"You can choose any distance – but given that it’s the 25th anniversary year, we thought a cheeky 25 miles might be a good target to aim for. If you have tiny little legs in your group, perhaps a less ambitious 2.5 miles (or any distance around the number 25). It really doesn’t matter how far you go as long as you get on your bike and do a summer cycle for Cransley.
“Whether it’s off road, on road, on holiday, or on the way to work, the most important thing is to keep safe, enjoy the ride and raise as much money as possible to support end of life care. Getting out and about is good for heart health and mental health and joining up with friends, families and colleagues will make it even more fun.”
