Pippa Middleton to cycle across the U.S

Pippa Middleton is one busy bee, and it seems there’s nothing she can’t do!

The sporty younger sister of Duchess Catherine will put the pedal to the medal when she embarks on a bike ride across the United States this weekend.

Kicking off on Sunday, the 30-year-old is set to cycle 4828km from California to  Annapolis, Maryland, as part of the Race Across America event, alongside her little brother, James, 27, and seven others.

The British socialite, who once dreamt of being a Wimbledon tennis champion, signed up for the challenge in memory of close friend, Michael Matthews, who died at the age of 22 while descending from the summit of Mount Everest 15 years ago.

And with a mountain of sporting achievements behind her, this won’t be the first time the brunette beauty has been pushed to her limits.

The keen hockey and tennis player has already skied in Switzerland’s Engadin Marathon and competed in a gruelling race consisting of a 20-mile run and 30-mile cycle in Scottland.
