Two Bourton Roadrunners switched the gravel for bike pedals as they raised £3,000 in a charity cycle from Cardiff to Badsey.

Over the weekend, married couple Coral and Tom Hill jumped on their bikes for a 110-mile ride in support of charities Noah’s Ark, Hope for Tomorrow, and Claus for Cause.

They joined other cyclists on their journey, which concluded at Badsey Community Sports & Social Club where the team enjoyed a well-earned rest.
