TWO nurses, who work with people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), are preparing to take on a cycling challenge to support a local health charity.

Sophy Steel and Julie Taylor, who both work at York Hospital as well as alongside the York MS Society, will be taking part in the cycling challenge, part of the Yorkshire Corker.

They are aiming to complete the Full Pint ride, a 100km route from the Vale of York around the Howardian Hills and returning to York.

"We have been training hard on ZWIFT and also putting the miles in on the road. It will be challenging for us both," Sophy said.
