HUNDREDS of cyclists are set to take part in a charity ride celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Tour de France Grand Depart's visit to Yorkshire.

More than 500 people have signed up to tomorrow's event, called the Legacy Ride.

The ride will start and finish at Roundhay Park in Leeds, with cyclists taking in spots such as Bolton Abbey, near Skipton, and Askwith Moor, near Otley.

Money generated from the event will go towards the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association as well as a £6.8 million Leeds Hospitals Charity appeal to create a Rob Burrow Centre for MND.

Rob Burrow died last month after battling MND.

The funeral of the rugby league legend and MND awareness campaigner will also take place in Pontefract tomorrow. 

The Legacy Ride will feature three route options - 230km, 120km and 70km.
