GREAT BRITAIN'S Paralympic cycling coach is making the trip to Newquay this weekend to launch a new bike club for disabled people in Cornwall.

Dr Gary Brickley, who is also a senior sports lecturer at the University of Brighton, will join Lady Mary Holborow to officially open the Cycleability group at Newquay Sports Centre on Saturday, March 5.

GoRide instructor Wendy Creed told the Cornish Guardian: "Every one is welcome and there will quite literally be something for everyone." She said that there would be a range of all-ability cycles, sports wheelchairs, recumbent bikes and go-karts for people to try out.

The event lasts from 11am until 3pm.

The first constitutional meeting to set up a committee will take place on Thursday, March 17, at 7pm, in room 108 of the Gannel Building at Truro College. All are welcome to attend.
