HOLSWORTHY man Sean Jack is gearing up to take part in the Big Battlefield Bike Ride from Paris to London this May, in support of Help for Heroes.

The 380 mile event starts at the iconic Eiffel Tower and finishes at London's Cenotaph. The six day challenge will involve hundreds of cyclists riding alongside war wounded soldiers to help raise money for a vital charity. Along the way the riders will stop at memorials and cemeteries to pay their respects.

If you'd like to donate, a quiz night is being held at the White Hart, Holsworthy on Saturday, whilst band Feedback will perform at the Memorial Hall on February 16 in support. Contact HPT Sport Bude on 01288 359222, Kath on 01409 259320 or the White Hart on 01409 253475 for more information.
