Motorists in the East Riding are being advised to check before they travel as there will be a number of permanent road closures ahead of the Yorkshire 2019 Para-Cycling International.

On Saturday, 21 September, some of the world’s top para-cyclists will be taking part in the race, which for the first time is taking place alongside the UCI Road World Championships.

Around 60 athletes are expected to leave Saturday Market in Beverley at around 12noon and race through Bishop Burton, Market Weighton, Holme on Spalding Moor, Foggathorpe and Bubwith on their way to the finish line in Harrogate.
