Mark Hollingworth, from the Giant Lincoln store in Doddington, said: “We are very excited to announce our first Giant Doddington Bike Ride on August 14; a day for all the family.

“The Giant Store at Doddington is more than just a bike shop so come and enjoy a family day of cycling in the beautiful grounds of Doddington Hall.”
