Loughborough lends a hand to soap and sports stars for cycle challenge

Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher and former Motocross World Champion Jamie Dobb were at Loughborough University last week to prepare for an epic 1000 mile Cycle of Wishes charity bike ride which starts in just six days time.

Fletcher, who plays Andy Sugden in Emmerdale, and Dobb, who is the last Britain to win a motocross world title, are part of a six-man team cycling from just outside Barcelona to Donnington Park as part of a 10-day trek for children’s charity Make A Wish.

The pair and their team are being supported by Loughborough University who have provided sports science services to help them prepare for the once-in-a-lifetime challenge.
