A Guiseley cyclist is among a group of people from the UK taking part in a 315km three-day ride through the French Alps to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The ride takes place between September 18 and 20, and will include two of the toughest ascents in the region and the bends of Alpe d’Huez, made famous in the Tour de France cycle race.

Peter Barker’s experience in cycling and fell running plus his work as a landscape gardener have kept him in good shape to take on this demanding challenge.

He has been set a minimum sponsorship target of £1,600.

Mr Barker, 40, of Ings Lane, said he is looking forward to the challenge and is hoping to exceed his target.
