Cyclists preparing to ride 1,000 kilometres next June to raise £100,000 for Stevenage’s Lister Hospital have revealed plans for a spinathon – but hurry as there’s only a few spaces left due huge interest in the event.

TwinTowns1000’s seven-hour cycling marathon will be at David Lloyd in Stevenage Leisure Park on Sunday, January 22.

A TT1K spokesman said: “Bikes are selling fast so if you’d like to participate in this event want to please email info@twintowns1000.bike.”
