STRENUOUS: The main group of riders, including Bradley


Wiggins, approaches the summit of the Trough.


MANY of the world’s top cyclists swept through the Ribble Valley last Saturday as the Tour of Brit­ ain arrived in Lancashire. As the largest free-to-view


sporting event in the country, the tour always proves popular with spectators and Saturday was no exception, as huge crowds gath­ ered aside the Trough of Bowland to catch a glimpse of stars of the cycling world. The field included local riders


Steven Burke and Ian Wilkinson, together with world stars such as Britain’s Bradley Wiggins and Australia’s Mark Renshaw. The first stage of the eight-

evised with a highlights show on ITV4 on Saturday evening, allow­ ing viewers a unique way to see the countryside of the local area. Cycling’s popularity has rocket­


ed in recent times, with increased television coverage, health ben­ efits associated with the sport and success at national level cited as reasons.


Together with incentives such as


the government’s Cycle to Work scheme, more people are opting to use their bikes.


Spectator Simon Dobson, from


Mellor, said; “I’ve noticed a defi­ nite increase in the number of people commuting in the morn­ ings to work, as well as during my training rides.” As well as the Tour of Britain,


Lancashire has been host to other top cycling events this summer. Both the Blackburn Grand Prix and the British National Road


Race Championships, held in Pendle, were hugely supported events, with the latter shown on British Eurosport. Pendle Council leader Michael


Blomeley said: “The council is a keen supporter of the sport, both from tourism and healthy lifestyles perspectives. We were d e ligh ted to welcome the National Road Race Champion­ ship to Pendle, which was a great event and a huge success. “As it was a televised event, we


believe it brought a greater promi­ nence to the area as a tourist des­ tination.” The point is not lost on neigh­


bouring Ribble Valley Borough Council, which actively promotes the area as a good destination for cyclists, with attractions both on and offroad. ® If you would like to get more

Tractor Run's record entry


IT WAS a sight to be seen when 46 vintage and mod­ ern tractors set off from Chipping showground on the sixth annual Tractor Run on Sunday. The high entry was a


record according to chief organiser Stuart Marginson, who was also elated with the increase in enthusiasts and supporters - well above 60 -who followed the 42-mile run. First port of call after


leaving the Green Lane steam fair field and show­ ground was Chaigley. Then the convoy went through to Mitton, Clitheroe, Chatbum, Grindleton, Sawley, and on the Wigglesworth road through Forest Becks to the Dog and Partridge at Tosside. Once there, everyone


enjoyed a hot pot and apple pie lunch, before travelling off-road through Gisburn Forest, where the North West Air Ambulance (NWAA), the organisation’s charity for the year, could be seen circling. The return journey took


them past Stocks Reservoir, D al eh ea d Ch u r c h , Slaidburn, Newton, Dunsop Bridge, Whitewell and back to Chipping with well in excess of £500 made for the NWAA.
