A Winchester-based cycling club is challenging youngsters in the city to take part in a two-wheeled slalom event at the River Park Leisure Centre.

The Cycle Slalom Challenge on Saturday will take place in the basketball court behind the centre.

The event will pit children against an obstacle course, which is designed to improve their confidence.

Any youngsters under 13 are invited to join the event, which has been organised by cycle club VC Venta.

Those entrants who successfully complete the course will also pedal away with a certificate.

The event has been timed to take place during Winchester Bike Week from this Saturday until Sunday June 22.

Further details on other events have also been released. These include a cycling treasure hunt which takes place throughout the week.

Anyone completing the hunt can have their names entered into a prize draw with the winners receiving various bike-related goodies.

Organiser John Buckley, said: "The treasure hunt will be good fun for all the family and will promote Winch-ester's network of cycle paths and cycling friendly streets."
