Cyclists from Sutton were among the 28,000 who took part in the London to Brighton Bike Ride last weekend.

On 16 June in aid of the British Heart Foundation, a team of Newsquest employees cycled the 54 miles from Clapham Common to the Brighton Sea Front, raising £350.

The team included Gemma Hill, Steve Hill, Newsquest south London Managing Director Gary Kendall, Gary White, Andy Miles, Carol Ramsey and Denise Davies.

Gemma Hill, Newsquest IT support engineer, said: "To finish us all off there was a 550ft climb up Ditchling Beacon which a couple of the team managed to cycle up.

The only good thing about going up was the seven miles downhill to the finish line on Brighton Sea Front."
