Emma Fraiser, from Leeds, says: "My daughter, Skye, and her pet lamb, Ruby, will be cheering the bikers on… along with all our chickens!"

Sophie Tams writes: "At Wheldrake with Thorganby CE school, the children and teachers have been busy preparing for today’s race.

"The children have collected milk bottles and created a bike land art on the school field. This has helped to raise plastic recycling awareness with our families."

Leanne Broadhead writes: "My grandmother, in Royston in Barnsley, is 78 years old. She has three children, five grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren!

"She has had an old bike spray-painted in the Tour de Yorkshire colours and she even had two old garden benches spray painted to match!"
