Olympic cycling champion and amateur jockey Victoria Pendleton has teamed up with Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) to call on the public to get on their bikes and sign up to a cycling challenge to suit them, and raise funds for the charity.

Pendleton commented 'Great Ormond Street Hospital has a special place in mine and my family's heart and I will always be grateful for the care and compassion shown to my twin brother. From enthusiastic beginners to seasoned cyclists there's a challenge for everyone. I would urge anyone who can to get on a bike to raise money for this amazing cause. Go to gosh.org/cyclingclub for advice on training and to hear more about why I am supporting this fantastic hospital'.
