A remarkable charity cycle challenge will get under way at Kirkbean later this month – involving riders in Scotland, England – and Kazakhstan.
Local cyclist Ian Baird hopes he and his international team can raise thousands of pounds in his 5,000 Miles in Five Days event from May 23-27.
The line-up includes 29 local people, plus two from Edinburgh, three from Leeds, one from Whitehaven, one from Debenham in Suffolk and George Budkov – a Russian working in Kazakhstan.
