THEREi is still time to sign up for Wirral's 17th charity Bikeathon.

The Globe-backed event, in aid of Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, takes place on Sunday, June 21.

It starts at 9.30am in Arrowe Country Park, Upton.

Cyclists can follow a 15 or 28-mile route, combining public highways and off-road along the scenic Wirral Way. Ideal for both advanced cyclists and beginners, participants can elect to ride either one or both sections.

The Peninsula Jazzmen and Wirral Ukulele Fanatics will entertain in Arrowe Park through the day.

Last year, 1,514 people took part in last year’s event, raising more than £61,000.

Wirral's Olympic gold medal-winning cyclist Chris Boardman is patron of the Bikeathon.

He said: "It is a fantastic way for cyclists to enjoy the Wirral countryside at the same time as raising money for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research’s drive to beat blood cancers.

"Last year the Bikeathon broke all records and raised over £61,000 and we would like to do even better this year."
