TOUR Series cycling comes to Durham on Tuesday.

Some of the UK’s best cyclists, including Commonwealth medallists Harry and Charlie Tanfield from Great Ayton, are taking part in the event, which is hosted by Durham County Council in partnership with organiser Sweetspot.

Prior to the official races, which began at 3pm, Durham School ran its own event, followed by a blue light race featuring staff from Durham Constabulary, County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue service and the North East Ambulance Service.
