    The 400-mile Schools Yorkshire Tour cycle relay came to a close with a welcome reception in Leeds.

    The pupils rode into Millennium Square yesterday (3 July) to hand over the baton to the Lord Mayor of Leeds Councillor Graham Latty, Welcome to Yorkshire’s Sir Gary Verity and Leeds City Council’s executive member for children and families Cllr Lisa Mulherin.

    The Schools Yorkshire Tour relay began on Tuesday 5 June as part of national Bike Week, and saw hundreds of pupils from primary, secondary and special schools in Yorkshire pass a baton over 400 miles from the start in Pickering to its final destination in Leeds.
