CYCLE off that Easter chocolate excess by signing up for The Stroke Association's annual Thames Bridges Bike Ride.

On Sunday, June 1, the country's leading stroke charity will be holding its eighth Thames Bridges Bike Ride. Last year over 2,000 people enjoyed a gloriously sunny day of cycling while raising vital funds to help the 300,000 people in the UK who are living with the effects of stroke.

This year's 30-mile cycle ride from Tower Bridge to Hampton Court crosses 14 bridges over the River Thames. All cycling abilities are welcome to take part, and there are no time restrictions for completing the ride.

Last year's event raised over £130,000 for those affected by stroke and it is hoped that this year's bicycle ride will raise even more.

Limited places are still available, so don't delay in registering!
