Cavendish leads hungry cyclists

World Champion and Tour de France Green Jersey winner Mark Cavendish led a special ride of cyclists at Redbridge Cycling Centre today.

The 'Ride with Cav' event saw the first 100 cyclists to complete the ride rewarded with a free breakfast served trackside, courtesy of Holiday Inn Express London Newbury Park.

Holiday Inn are the official hotel provider to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Cavendish is part of the chain's Athlete Engagement Programme which supports 50 emerging and established British athletes, including Rebecca Adlington, Mo Farah and Victoria Pendleton, in their quest for medals by giving them over 1,500 free room nights.

The ride follows hot on the heels of the Mo Farah 5,000m run that was hosted for keen runners earlier this year when over 150 people turned out to run with the athlete in Regent's Park.

Cavendish said: "As I spend a lot of time away from home at cycling events around the world it's great to have the support and free nights from Holiday Inn. It's also a huge advantage to be able to have my coaching team and family with me when I'm training or competing abroad because they give me an extra boost.

"It's been great to meet so many fans and to see so many cycling enthusiasts taking part."
