Britain’s most successful Olympian, Sir Chris Hoy, surprised pupils from Dane Bank Primary School in Tameside when they attended a British Cycling Go-Ride session this week. 

The group of Year Five and Six pupils were taking part in the coaching and racing session at Tameside Closed Circuit, as part of British Cycling’s Go-Ride programme. Sir Chris made his surprise entrance armed with a brand new fleet of HOY children’s bikes to provide some inspiration on an otherwise wet and windy day.
