A DECORATED Paralympian is the special guest at a women’s-only cycling event.

Dame Sarah Storey will appear at Biking Belles Grand Prix at Goodwood on Sunday, August 30.

The event offers four sportives: elite racing, ‘cycle the circuit’ - for a leisurely cycle around the track, an exclusive ‘cycle village’ offering cycling merchandise plus a masterclass and question and answers session hosted by Dame Storey and Team Storey.

Dame Storey said: "It is rare to have the time after a race to involve an elite team in the community of the event and we are delighted to have the opportunity to meet some fellow riders and hopefully pass on some of our experience.

"Cycling is a unique sport because it's so easy to integrate all ages and levels and we hope to see lots of like-minded cyclists on the day."
