'Riding the superbike was an incredible experience'

A woman who is paralysed from the chest down has ridden a superbike around a nine-mile (14.4km) road race course.

Claire Lomas, from Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, was paralysed in a horse-riding accident in 2007.

Over the weekend she took on a lap of the North West 200 (NW200) racecourse in Northern Ireland.

The 43-year-old, who completed the 2012 London Marathon in a robotic suit, said she was nervous but ready to take on the challenge.

Ms Lomas has already raised more than £850,000 for charity, with her latest challenge aiming to raise funds for the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation (NSIF).

She tells Ady Dayman how her challenge went.
