Cyclists take on Ride London for The Space Centre in Preston

Three cyclists have raised almost Â£2,000 for a sensory centre for people with disabilities.

Stuart Robinson, Dan Richardson and Rachel Heppenstall took part in Ride London, a 100-mile challenge from the Olympic Village, raising £1,700 between them for The Space Centre in Preston.

Andrea Baker, fund-raising facilitator, said: “The Space Centre feels very privileged to have had three dedicated cyclists and supporters of Space do the Ride London event.

“The ride took them through the surrey countryside and through the sites of London culminating in the Mall covering 100 miles.
