Youngsters from the pre-school designed flags as people to wave and packed the route to cheer on the cyclists
The arrival of the elite cyclists taking part in the AJ Bell Women’s Tour brought people out to line the streets of Deddington on Monday lunchtime. The tour route saw the cyclists head up the main Oxford Road to the village before they turned into the Hempton Road.
Members of Bicester Cycling Club stopped in the village to join the crowds and cheer on the professionals, ahead of making their way to Banbury for the finish.
Villager Richard came out with his wife to enjoy the atmosphere. He said: “It’s a good advertisement for Deddington, getting Deddington on the map. It’s a fabulous event and its great to see everyone out in the sunshine.”
Youngsters from Deddington Pre-School had spent the morning designing flags before heading down to cheer the cyclists pass by.
Rachel O’Connell from the Pre-School said: “[The children] have been really excited about it and they’ve made their flags to wave at the cyclists. We’ve been talking about it all morning.”
