The Mayor of Worthing is staging a Bikethon to raise cash for his charities.

The event, organised by Councillor Eric Mardells chaplain, David Hill, in conjunction with Action Bikes, takes place on Sunday, April 27, starting at Portland Place.

Participants can choose the easier eight-mile family ride or the more difficult 21-mile jaunt.

Tickets, costing £5 each, are available from Action Bikes and must be bought before the event.

Earlier this year, councillors turned down a bid to stage the Bikethon on the promenade amid fears it would breach cycling bylaws.
