Joined by up to 200 other riders, including his Dad, Brammeier will cycle from Liege to London from June 30th to July 3rd.

THIS YEAR’S Liverpool-Chester-Liverpool is set to attract 3,000 riders and hopes are already high that it will raise even more than last year’s £22,000 for Claire House Children’s Hospice. Taking place on Sunday July 8th, Olympian Craig MacLean has got behind the Pennine Events-organised ride. He said: “It’s one of the very few days cyclists can pass through the Mersey tunnel, which is an experience in itself. With nearly three miles under the Mersey, it’s going to be different to anything they’ve ever done before.”

Waiter, there’s a cyclist in my soup
IT’S DIFFICULT to resist the temptation to print a photo like this one sent in by the TweedLove Bike Festival. The event, taking place in Tweed Valley in the Scottish Borders has been extended from a week to ten days to include the Queen’s Jubilee holiday weekend, so it now runs from Saturday May 26th to Tuesday June 5th 2012. What better reason to jump over a couple enjoying a bite to eat?
