A local driving instructor is swapping his car for two wheels and the saddle as he is set to go on a cycling challenge round Cumbrae for charity.
Starting at noon on the Saturday June 24, Largs man Peter McLardy and fellow cyclists from the Fullarton Wheelers cycling club will be attempting to collectively cycle 3,000 miles around the Isle of Cumbrae in just 24 hours
Peter intends to exceed 100 miles towards this total. This is a charity cycle in aid of the great work done by the Ayrshire Hospice.
Please visit the web link uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/fullartonwheelers and donate what you can. Thanks in advance for any donations."
The big challenge will certainly put the wheels in motion, and the Fullarton Wheelers state on their charity website: "We're not only doing this because we love to munch the miles on our bikes, we're doing it to raise as much money as we can to support the fantastic work done by the Ayrshire Hospice.
"Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor us and donations will be quickly processed and passed to The Ayrshire Hospice. We really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations."
