A HOSPICE is inviting family and friends, of all ages and abilities, to get on their bikes, scooters, skateboards, trikes, tandems, penny farthings and unicycles to support the charity.

On August 15 and 16, St Mary's Hospice in Ulverston is urging people to take part in the first ever Virtual RideLondon.

The event gives people the chance to take part in the world’s greatest festival of cycling, wherever you live and with whoever you like.

Hugh Brasher, Event Director of Prudential RideLondon, said: “Whatever you do, we urge you to raise funds for a charity of your choice – and have fun.”
