Almost 70 riders from Devon and Cornwall Police will be cycling from Exeter to Land’s End this weekend to raise money for the charity Little Bleeders.

They will set off in teams from 7.30am, from the Police Headquarters at Middlemoor today (May 29) and hope to arrive in Land’s End at around 4pm the same day.

The journey will involve over 130 miles of road, with 10,000 feet of climbing.

Organiser for Devon and Cornwall Police, Sergeant Owen Messenger, said: ’The ride has been organised as part of a charity event to raise vital funds for the charity Little Bleeders. We aim to raise over £5,000.’

Little Bleeders is a charity set up in 2015 by professional cyclist and Commonwealth and British Time Trial Champion Alex Dowsett, following being diagnosed with haemophilia.
