'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 拢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.
