Zara Tindall takes on closing leg of charity cycle problem – in reminiscence of late eventing rider Caroline March
Zara Tindall appeared to be in good spirits yesterday – as she set off to take on the final leg of a charity bike ride.
The daughter of Princess Anne, 43, braved the chilly November air as she joined cyclists in Berkshire to take part in the final leg of the Cycle4Caroline Endurance Charity Cycle Challenge.
Taking on the final day on Saturday, the royal joined in on the 11-day event, which is raising money for Spinal Research and the British Eventing Support Trust.
As well as raising funds, it honours the life of the event rider Caroline March, who tragically died aged 31 in March earlier this year after she sustained life-changing injuries during an eventing fall in 2022.
Showing off her athletic prowess, mother-of-three Zara donned a pair of plum leggings and a navy zip up coat.
The daughter of princess Anne put safety first, sporting a white helmet and a pair of black cycling trainers. Completing the look, she warmed up with a thick pair of black Velcro gloves.
The royal opted to remain fresh faced, showing off her dewy complexion and flushed autumnal cheeks.
King Charles’s niece – a skilled equestrian who previously competed in eventing and boasts a silver Olympic medal in the sport – was joined by fellow competitive riders, William Fox-Pitt, Joe Stockdale and Jack Whitaker, yesterday.
