A MARLOW cyclist joined some of the best riders in the country when she raced along the Embankment in London on the same day as the Tour of Britain.

Jemma Bowler joined almost 200 cyclists in a Go Ride event through London and rose to the occasion magnificently to take a very close second place.

The Great Marlow School pupil received her medal from Hannah Barnes, who had earlier won the Women’s Elite race.
