Cyclists roll in to Holyrood

A FOUR-day sponsored bike ride from Harrogate to Holyrood will be rolling into Edinburgh Holyrood Park today.

The Holyrood Cycle Challenge is aiming to raise thousands of pounds for children's charity Barnardo's.

Julie Patmore, the event organiser who has two children who have been supported by Barnardo's, said: "We think we have hit our target of around 25,000 for the charity, the support has been amazing."

Around 30 riders are taking part in the 220-mile event, which left Ripley Castle on 15 June.
