Zoe Jay, head of fundraising at Helen Rollason Cancer Charity, said: "Each rider will be supporting those living with cancer.

"With one in two of us facing a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime, we are so grateful to everyone that attends events like this either as a participant or a volunteer.

"We need to ensure that we continue to host successful fundraising events to enable us to be here to offer our vital support in the future."
