Laura Kenny will race next month for the first time since her double gold at the Rio Olympics. Kenny (formerly Trott) will compete in the Revolution Cycling Champions League at the Lee Valley VeloPark, formerly the Olympic Velodrome, on 2 and 3 December.
The 24-year-old, who also won two Olympic golds at the venue during London 2012, married the six-times Olympic champion Jason Kenny in September.
“I’m really excited to be back racing again,” Laura Kenny said. “I needed a break after the Olympics but I’m looking forward to getting back on my bike and enjoying racing after the pressure of Rio.”
Elinor Barker, who won team pursuit gold alongside Kenny in Rio, will race in round one of the Revolution series in Manchester this weekend.
The 14-times Paralympic champion Dame Sarah Storey is also in action in Manchester.
