Pippa Middleton may be using bike races as a way to get away from boyfriend problems. The fact that Nico Jackson doesn’t seem to be anywhere near setting a wedding date might be getting on her nerves. What better way to distract oneself than sports?

Whatever relationship problem that may be plaguing Pippa Middleton and Nico Jackson, she seems happy to use this opportunity to do some charity work.

According to Daily Mail, Pippa Middleton will “take part in the London to Brighton bike ride in June in a bid to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. The event, which is now in its 40th year, sees 25,000 cyclists descend on the seaside city each summer and has raised a total of £65m for the charity so far.”

Most recently, the rumors had it that she ditched her boyfriend on New Years Eve to spend it with her old flame Andres Balazs in New York.

“Some friends teasingly refer to Nico as ‘comfy slippers’ because he likes to stay in. He doesn’t like going out and networking. He’s a nice guy but I think Pippa is treading water with him. She’s got bigger plans,” a source told Fashion & Style in October.

About the upcoming race, Kate Middleton’s younger sister said that she is excited to bike for charity.

“As a keen cyclist, I am thrilled to be involved in this milestone year of the London to Brighton Bike Ride,” she said according to Daily Mail.

“This event is testament to the fact that cycling is such a great inclusive sport that everyone can enjoy and at the same time, through the money raised, it continues to help millions of people affected by heart disease.

“Whether you want to ride as part of a team or go the challenge alone, registration opens on Saturday 17th January so sign up. I look forward to seeing you all at the start line in June.”
