A TEAM from Kirkby Cricket Club is taking on the coast to coast challenge to raise money for three different causes.

Despite describing themselves as “non-cyclists”, the men will set out on a 138 mile bike ride to raise £1,000 split between St Mary’s Hospice, Kirkby Community Centre and Kirkby Cricket Club.

The team will leave from Whitehaven on October 12 at 9am and aim to complete their ride by October 14.

They have set up a gofundme page which can be found at www.gofundme.com/kirkby-cc-coast-2-coast.
