Bridlington member starts the Tour de Yorkshire cycle race

Bethany Playforth, a member of the Bridlington branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was chosen to flag the start of the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire at its start from Bridlington.



She was selected to start the cycle race and was the first over the starting line.  Thousands of people cheered and clapped as the event began.


Bethany rides an adapted bike which was provided by the innovative East Riding of Yorkshire Council All Ride scheme.  She was taking part in a sponsored cycling event that she organised in aid of the scheme which has helped her develop a passion for the sport.
