Residents from Edingley have been getting into the spirit of the tour passing through the village.
Edingley Parish councillor Dominic Byrne said: “We’ve had an outburst of community spirit and with the Tour of Britain coming through, we’ve gathered together a record number of yellow bikes.
“We’re going to issue a challenge to other Nottinghamshire villages to beat us because we really are putting a race face on so that people who come here to watch the race really enjoy the spirit.
“We’ve also got a giant farmer’s crop 50 metres high on a local hillside and we’ve also had a team of knitters yarn-bombing.”
A group of volunteers helped children to paint a banner to welcome the cyclists as they rave through the village.
Cathy, a volunteer at Messy Church, said: “We’ve marked out and drawn out all the letters for the children to paint.
“We’ve supervised the children to make an amazing banner to welcome the cyclists.”
