BRIGHOUSE is under starter's orders for an evening of entertainment and top sporting action as the nation's best cyclists prepare to take to the streets of the town on Tuesday.
The prestigious Brighouse Circuit races, which are now part of the British Cycling Elite Circuit Series, promise to be a thrilling spectacle and the organisers are keeping their fingers crossed for fine weather and lots of support from spectators and traders in the town centre.
The event was held for the first time in 2007 and was watched by more than 2,000 people.
It was such a success that it was adopted by the sport's governing body after just one year to form part of the elite series and is now set to become an annual event.
Michael Lever, who organises the event with fellow cyclists Paul Waddington and Chris Vokes, said: "This event really put Brighouse on the cycling map. We are thrilled by its success. Some of the best riders in Britain will be taking part and many of them are at the top of their game."
