MORE details about what Bramhope has planned for this year’s Tour de Yorkshire have been unveiled.

The cycling race, whose 2019 edition runs from Thursday, May 2 to Sunday, May 5, will be visiting the village for the very first time this year.

The Women’s Race will be in the area on Friday, May 3 when the riders are expected to come down Kings Road towards the roundabout - and then onto the A660 through Bramhope and down to Pool - between 10.40am and 11am.

The men will follow, on the same route in the afternoon, and will be back in the area on Sunday, May 5 - the concluding day of the Men’s Race - when they head along Otley Old Road and on to the finish in Leeds.

Residents, churches, councillors and community groups in Bramhope have been working hard to ensure the Tour receives a rousing welcome.

Big pieces of land art, at West Park Leeds RUFC and on the field near St Giles Parish Church, are being planned.

The design for the display near the church, as shown here, shows cyclists racing along a road against a backdrop of a viaduct and passing train. The rugby club, meanwhile, is working on a huge bicycle image display with the words ‘West Park Leeds - Bramhope’.

The village is also going to be decked out in bunting for the race while Bramhope in Bloom has been busy creating special planters, filled with yellow and blue flowers - the Tour’s colours - for the event.

The group has also been attaching yellow bicycles and wheels, decorated with big flowers, to trees and other locations around the village.

A host of other Tour-related activities meanwhile, including a Cyclathon, quiz and static bikes racing contest plus a beer tent, will be held at St Giles Church - along with a mocktails bar, run by Bramhope Methodist Church.
