Cllr Carl Sherwood, cabinet member for Community Wellbeing, said:

“Even if you aren’t a cycling enthusiast, the Cycling Extravaganza will have lots of activities to keep children and families entertained throughout the day.

“Hosting the Tour of Britain is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase everything North Lincolnshire has to offer. We hope people will be inspired by the race coming to our area and this will build on North Lincolnshire’s growing cycling culture.”

North Lincolnshire is set to host an entire stage of the OVO Energy Tour of Britain for the first time ever this September, as Britain’s premier road cycling event heads to the area on Tuesday 5 September 2017. One hundred and twenty of the world’s top cyclists will take on a 172-kilometre stage, starting from the beautiful 300-acre estate of Normanby Hall Country Park and finishing in the heart of Scunthorpe near Central Park.
