A TEAM of volunteer bike riders covered 100km without ever leaving the spot.

The Order of St John, which runs three homes for the elderly in the Forest, teamed up with NatWest bank in Lydney for the ride in aid of the Great Western Air Ambulance.

Thanks to the generosity of NatWest customers a total of £78.28 was raised.

Among those who came to cheer on the riders were residents of Townsend House in Mitcheldean and Westbury Court.
