British cycling sensation Tom Pidcock added Olympic gold to his palmares this morning, winning the XC mountain-biking event at the Tokyo Olympics.

And UK cyclists will have a chance to congratulate him in person, as he returns to Yorkshire for this weekend's new Tom Pidcock Granfondo.

Entries close midnight, with standard and VIP places available to meet and ride with Tom fresh off the back of his biggest win to date.

The event takes place on Sunday 1 August in Ilkley. Three routes are on offer for the Granfondo, ranging from 50km to 180km in length. Along the way there's a chance to tackle some of Yorkshire's toughest hill climbs, including Fleet Moss and Kidstones Pass as well as the lesser-known Halton Gill.

There's also a 110km route with a warm-up along the Wharfedale Valley and epic views surrounding Malham Cove.

Brought to you by the experienced team at Struggle Events, this is a sportive challenge not to be missed. After all, where else will you get the chance to ride with a freshly minted Olympic champion on his home terrain?
