DELABOLE firefighter, Jacob Vosper, will be completing a sponsored bike ride later in the summer for The Fire Fighters Charity, writes Rosie Cripps.

Jacob will be taking part in the RideLondon 100 bike ride in the last week of July, which will start at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, take him through the country hills of Surrey, and end at The Mall in central London.

Jacob said: “I took part in the bike ride last year, and since joining the fire service, it is something that is very close to home. I do a lot of cycling anyway, so I thought ‘why not do it for a good cause?’”

The bike ride will be 100 miles long; Jacob hopes to complete it in under five hours, and is aiming to raise up to £500 for The Fire Fighters Charity.

He added: “For those who use twitter, you can keep updated by visiting our Twitter page @DelaboleCFRS, and for those who would like to make donations, please send them to the Delabole Community Fire Station, Pengelly, Delabole.”
