The head teacher of Ravenscliffe High School and Sports College, Martin Moorman, said: “The community at Ravenscliffe are passionate about offering their students daily cycling opportunities. Everyone can and does cycle at the school whatever their level of need, ability or disability.

"So the opportunity to bring the Tour de Yorkshire to a cycling mad school was a no brainer."

The trophies were then moved to the Welcome Centre at The Piece Hall, where visitors got to see the iconic ‘Y’ trophies.

It will be a great day for Halifax and the region to remember. The Trust and its tenants are busily preparing for the event and getting into the cycling spirit.
