THE Mayor of Wrexham is getting on his bike and wants residents to do the same...for charity.

Cllr John Pritchard will lead a team of “spinners” in a four hour charity challenge that will raised funds for the Mayor’s chosen charities and Prostate Cancer UK.

The event will take place at Wrexham Waterworld on Friday April 20 between 1-5pm when the Mayor will be joined by the now retired Head of Corporate and Customer Services, Trevor Coxon.

Cllr Pritchard said: “This promises to be a very fun event, and we want as many people as possible to get involved – both taking part in as much or as little of the spinning challenge themselves, and to get sponsored for doing so, or to sponsor those who do.

You don’t have to be an expert cyclist to join in the fun and you can do as much or as little as you choose.

Cllr Pritchard said: “The important thing is that a range of good causes will benefit from this event, so we want to raise as much money as possible.”

Amanda Roberts from Freedom Leisure, has also kindly agreed to spin the afternoon away.

Cllr Pritchard added: “I’d like to thank Freedom Leisure for offering us the use of their fantastic spinning suite at the Waterworld myride studio, the virtual route will certainly help fundraisers stay motivated and keep pedalling!”
