  2. Tour de Yorkshire: Getting a-round in Kirbymoorsidepublished at 12:55 British Summer Time 1 May 2016

    In Kirkbymoorside a drink has been created especially for the Tour de Yorkshire.

    It's called Kirkby-Moor-Cider (see what they did there?) and comes in three different flavours. 

    Not only that, but the main town's main roundabout has also been well decorated for the race, due to pass through at about 13:40, as you can see below:

  17. Huge artwork on the top of Sutton Bankpublished at 12:07 British Summer Time 1 May 2016

    A giant piece of "land art" has been unveiled on the top of Sutton Bank to mark today's final stage of the Tour de Yorkshire cycle race.

    The whopping 70m high, 40m wide white painting on the grassy airfield at the Yorkshire Gliding Club is next to one of the race's toughest ascents and has recreated the animals that appear on the Hambleton District coat of arms.

    The work is entitled The Finest View and is nearly as large as the famous Kilburn White Horse.

    The art will come into view as the helicopters broadcasting live coverage of the race track the cyclists' ascent of the "Cote de Sutton Bank" just after 13:00. 

    It took the Landmark Collective, comprising artists Becky Newbould, Rob Conway, James Brunt, Timm Cleasby and Cath Smart, 14 days to complete, using 1,000 litres of biodegradable paint that will fade over the coming months.
