Kris Cook (far right) with girlfriend Nicola Tait next to himCyclists invited to gather on Sunday to remember Kris Cook who died during RideLondon
Cyclists are being invited to take part in a ride on Sunday to remember Kris Cook, who died last weekend of a heart attack while taking part in the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100.
The ride will meet at Newlands Corner at 9am on Sunday August 17.
Kris had been taking part in the event with a group of friends including his partner Nicola Tait, with the pair aiming to raise money for Woking Hospice and Sam Beare Hospice.
His fundraising target was £500 but since last Sunday donations have poured in to his Just Giving page, with the amount raised now standing at almost £40,000.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Bravo! I'd love to know what modifications were made to it. I would hope going up huge hills means he had lower gear than standard.
