Posted on
  • 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.
