THE youngest and the oldest cyclists to take part in last year's Cycle4life charity bike rides through the streets of Hartlepool received prizes to mark their achievements.
Joel Currell, six, has a new mountain bike, and Alf Bell, 81, can take his wife to dinner at a hotel.
Both completed the 25-mile ride and have pledged to take part again in the fifth annual event on Sunday, June 24.
Cycle4life, which is now the most popular event of its kind in Cleveland, attracts hundreds of sponsored cycling enthusiasts. The proceeds go to Hartlepool District Hospice and other local charities.
Hartlepool Rotary, Springs health club, and the hospice organise the event, which starts and finishes at Springs, in Hartlepool Marina.
Riders have a choice of three courses, one of nine miles, another of 25, and a third of 50 miles.
