The local charity cycle challenge is returning to Suffolk this March.

The RideFest challenge organised by St Elizabeth Hospice will offer more chances for people to get involved.

The static bike challenge will be expanded to include an individual challenge as well as a 25 or 50 mile road ride around Suffolk.

The competition for businesses will also be returning.

Felicity Rook, head of fundraising at St Elizabeth Hospice, said: “We were overwhelmed by the support we received from businesses across Suffolk last year and, from the feedback we’ve had, everyone had a great time.

“Support like this is essential to the running of the hospice.

“While you’ll have a lot of fun, the money raised will enable us to continue to provide vital services to the local community.”

Last year’s winners were Beagle’s Property estate agents from Ipswich.
