This year’s event is raising money for three local charities: Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, Louth NSPCC and Lincolnshire Down’s Syndrome Support Group.

Now in its ninth year, the challenge has raised more than £90,000 for various local charities since it was launched.

Rob said: “The ride raises money for some fantastic local causes, as well as encouraging us to get fit, get out on our bikes and appreciate the lovely countryside we have here in Lincolnshire.

“The C2C2C has become a firm fixture on our calendar; we’re proud to have been involved for several years now and we’re looking forward to helping raise even more money for charities.”
