A GROUP of bikers will be riding from Pontypool to North Wales and back again from August 17 to August 19 in aid of Wales Air Ambulance.

Around 25 people will be taking part in the Mighty Moped Challenge and will be riding 300 miles to raise funds.

The group will be in specially designed T-shirts and hope to raise around £4,000 for the rescue service, which has helped people who take part in their hobby.

The group were inspired to raise money for the service after a group of rally drivers and co-drivers were involved in a nasty accident which resulted in one co-driver being airlifted to hospital.

The drivers were unaware the service relied on charitable donations and fundraising events.
