SIR Bradley Wiggins will ride alongside his fans in this year’s Ride With Brad event following the success of the inaugural ride last year.

The 2013 event, which will be held on Sunday, will take in numerous villages across the Ribble Valley and Pendle.

Established in 2012 as part of launch of the Bradley Wiggins Foundation, it gives thousands of cyclists the chance to ride with a winner of the Tour de France and Olympic champion.

His foundation aids young people in getting involved and developing their potential in sport.

He said: “It was a great event last time, riding round this beautiful area where I train when at home and meeting so many riders and spectators.

“We want to keep the event growing and becoming the best sportive there is.
