A group of cyclists are braving the heatwave, taking on a 200-mile ride to support children in care.
Forty-five cyclists, along with their support crew, set off from Lincoln Cathedral on Friday and aim to arrive at York Minster on Sunday.
The group, called Biking for Children in Care, is raising money for Become, a charity that campaigns for a better care system for young people.
Gill Timmis, one of the cyclists taking part, said: “The bike rides are not just a physical challenge but about raising awareness of what the care system is like, how it’s in crisis and what needs to change.”
Timmis, 75, added: “The reason we do it is because I’m a social worker and I’ve seen the difficulties that children face.
“I think it’s not a well-known issue and we’ve managed to raise the profile of the issue.”
According to Become, the number of children in care in Lincolnshire stands at 805, which is an increase of 18% in five years.
Almost half of them are living more than 20 miles away from their friends, family and school, the charity added.
