TWO men from Chard and Ilminster are all geared up for a mammoth 24-hour charity cycle race tomorrow (Thursday).

Greg Schofield, Ilminster, and Luke Bishop, Chard, are set to take part in the gruelling race at le Mans in France to raise money for the Musgrove Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Save the Children.

Greg's daughter spent her first six days in the care unit at Musgrove, which why that is one of their chosen benefactors.
