A group of councillors are to swap the chamber for chains and take on a cycle ride through Ceredigion for charity.

The ride is being organised by Cllr Keith Henson, who will be joined by fellow Plaid Cymru councillors on the ride in July.

There are two courses that riders will take.

The first being a 65 mile ride from Aberystwyth to Cenarth and the second covering a massive 100 miles between Borth and Cenarth.

The event is being organised by Plaid Cymru Ceredigion councillors and will be raising money for two worthy local causes.

Cllr Henson, who represents Llansanffraid, said: “I have organised the ride to celebrate 40 years of being diagnosed with Diabetes T1 back in February.

“I am thankful of support of family and friends for taking part in the sponsored cycle with me along with fellow Plaid Cymru Councillors in arranging the event.

“Fundraising will be for for Diabetes Cymru and Ceredigion Diabetes Nurses.”
