Children in Need: Cyclist creates Pudsey with 50-mile ride

Ms Laurel said she first got into cycling after the London 2012 Olympics when she and her brother joined a cycling club.

However, planning her rides to resemble animals and other themed objects was something that came during lockdown.

“I was planning a route just to see how long it was,” she said.

“And I got about two thirds of the way through and thought, ‘oh, this looks a bit like a llama’.

“So I plotted the rest of the route to make it look like a llama.

“And then I thought, if I add some antlers and a red nose, I can make a reindeer.

“Then it kind of went from there and it was quite popular on social media.

“So I thought, ‘yeah, I’ll do some more of these’.”

Her latest creation took “a couple of hours to plan” and took inspiration from her previous designs.

Ms Laurel said her next themed ride would be about 90 miles (145km) and would take the shape of a snowman.
