Two saddle up for ride of their lives | This is South Wales: "TWO Pendine cyclists are planning an epic ride through America's industrial heartland in aid of charity next month.

Cyclists Andy Edwards and Phil Jenkins, known locally as the Two Fat Cyclists, are planning to ride 1,200 mile in just six days from Chicago to New York in the hope of raising £12,000 for the Canolfan Plant Sir Gar children's charity.

They will be joined on the trip, which starts on March 9, by drivers Lyndon Williams and Gethin Jones.

To add to the challenge, they will be playing acoustic music gigs at various venues en route starting at the Candelit Bar, Chicago and culminating with a gig at the Longbow Pub and Pantry in New York."
