Just last month, Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey braved the weather to take the ‘Tour of the Wolds’ route ahead of the competitive race.

Dame Sarah said: “It’s a great, great place to start the national women’s road series and a return to Lincolnshire for us.”

“It’s fantastic and we’re looking forward to seeing what the route has to bring”.
