Cyclists planning a 250-mile ride along the Nile in Egypt are auctioning Grand Prix and Wimbledon tickets.

The Lardies, a group of 30 cyclists, will do the ride in October to raise money for Oxfordshire Macmillan Nurses.

They have been given two tickets to the Wimbledon Men's final and two full hospitality tickets for the British Grand Prix to sell at auction.

The trip was planned by Shaun Levine, a solicitor at Brethertons in Banbury.

The tickets will go under the hammer at Banbury Cricket Club on Friday, July 4. Call Mr Jardine on 01295 270999 or email info@lardietours.co.uk
