CYCLISTS in Bradford are being encouraged to put their pedal power into gear to raise cash for charity.

The Acorn charity, supporting people with dementia and their carers, is hosting its 100k sponsored bike ride challenge on Saturday, May 9.

More than 600 cyclists and 100 volunteers raised £37,000 at last year’s bike ride and now organisers are hoping to top that target.

To enter, or for more information, visit www.acorncharity.org.uk.

Online entries close on Monday, May 4.
