FITNESS fanatic Mike Horswell will put his pedal power to the test when he takes on the London to Brighton bike ride.

The 52-year-old of Micklefield Road, High Wycombe, underwent heart surgery in 2003 and hopes to raise cash for the British Heart Foundation when he takes on the gruelling 54-mile course. Mr Horswell, an NHS manager, will tackle the ride on Sunday, June 19, along with colleagues as part of the Chiltern and South Bucks Primary Care Trust team.
