A cyclist has died after collapsing during the RideLondon event
through London and Surrey.
Kris Cook, 36, had a cardiac arrest at Newlands Corner, near
Guildford, during the RideLondon-Surrey 100 on Sunday.
RideLondon organisers said he was treated by doctors at the scene and
taken to hospital but later pronounced dead.
Thousands of people took part in the public bike ride, which was cut
from 100 to 86 miles after weather warnings.
A spokeswoman for Prudential RideLondon said: "Kris was part of a
group of 12 riders raising money for Woking Hospice. His mother said
that he had died doing something he loved and welcomed donations in
Kris's memory to his Woking Hospice fundraising page.
"The organisers of the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 would like to
express their sincere condolences to Kris's family and friends.

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
