Celebrity cycle ride set to close Nidderdale roads on Friday
A charity cycle ride covering 50 miles of North Yorkshire will cause numerous road closures in Nidderdale on Friday.
The event, which begins at 7.45am, is to be filmed by ITV and raise money for Soccer Aid for UNICEF.
The race, called On Yer Bike, will snake from Kettlewell to Pool-in-Wharfedale and will mean rolling road closures throughout the day.
The list of celebrities taking part is yet to be revealed.
The route will head towards Grassington, across to Pateley Bridge, then past Menwith Hill before heading to Pool-in-Wharfedale at about 2.30pm.
The road closures will last for between 15-25 minutes, according to North Yorkshire County Council.
Commuters can expect to be directed by police motorcycle riders and traffic management stewards.
The show is set to be broadcast on ITV on the August bank holiday weekend.
