Cycling fans are being invited to pedal into Christmas at Evesham VeloPark.

On Sunday (December 8), from 1pm to 4pm, PAL Fitness Education is hosting its Cycle with Santa Bike Ride fundraiser.

The event will feature more than 30 adapted bikes for people of all ages and abilities to try out, or attendees can bring and decorate their own in a Christmas theme.

A Santa Bike Race for adults and a chance to meet Father Christmas, courtesy of Evesham Round Table, are also on the agenda.

A suggested donation of £5 per rider and £15 for a family of four is requested to fund new equipment and maintenance of PAL’s specially adapted bikes, enabling people with a range of disabilities to enjoy cycling.

The festive fun continues on Monday, December 23, from 10am to 2pm, with all tracks at Evesham VeloPark free to use.

There is no need to book—people can just bring their bike and helmet and turn up.

Christmas jumpers are encouraged, with a prize for the best one.

Councillor Rob Adams, Wychavon’s executive board member for strong communities, culture and sport, said: "Come and enjoy the magic of Christmas on two wheels this festive season at Evesham VeloPark and spread some good cheer at the same time by raising money for a worthy cause."
