Sutton's deputy mayor will saddle up to launch a cycle club's annual season of rides this weekend.

Councillor Joyce Mellican will be starting the Cyclists' Touring Club's summer rides season from the Nonsuch Mansion Café from 2pm on Saturday, April 6.

Riders of all abilities are encouraged to get involved as there will be a choice of rides and the assurance that no-one will be left behind.
