A CYCLING programme is being launched in Darlington for riders of all ages and abilities.

Darlington Council's sports development team, in partnership with Local Motion, is running Cycle: In Darlington - a series of weekly rides in and around the local area.

Weekly rides will start on Sunday, March 25, at 10am and will last from one to two hours, leaving from Eastbourne Sports Complex.

As an introductory offer the sessions will cost £2 per session. Booking is essential as spaces are limited. For more details and to book, email the sports development team on sdt@darlington.
