Cyclists are running out of time to oil their gears and sign up for the Greater Haywards Heath Bike Ride 2014.

Registrations continue to pour in and, with pre-registration in The Orchards Shopping Centre from 10.30am to 3.00 pm on Saturday 17th, the organisers are hoping to beat last year’s thousand-strong field which raised enough money to buy 16 defibrillators for the whole area.

MP Nicholas Soames will be the official starter for the race which begins at 8.45 am on May 18 in The Broadway.

Organiser Sharon Scott said: “The Broadway will be closed and decked out in international bunting to welcome our French and German Twin town visitors who are bringing quite a fleet of riders.

“The Orchards, First Central and Nuffield Health, our major sponsors, will join Nicholas Soames to see the riders off, as will Town Mayor Sandy Ellis before setting off on the Ride herself.”
