Hannah Fawcett, who founded the cycling club, said: “Every year we do a longest day ride and we thought wouldn’t be good to do a stage at the Tour de France?”<\/p>\n
This part of the race will finish in the shadow of the Liver Building, under the gaze of Bertie the Liver Bird watching over the city. <\/p>\n
As a proud Liverpool tour guide, Caitlin Henry cannot wait to welcome people from around the world.<\/p>\n
“It’s a city I’m proud of and I want people to come here and I want people to experience it and love it as much as I do,” she said. <\/p>\n
Dave Beamish, owner of Ryde Bike Cafe & Workshop, said he hoped the tour would inspire an even bigger love of cycling in the city.<\/p>\n
“There’s a good few cycling clubs – leisure cycling is quite big in the city but for commuters not so much,” he said. <\/p>\n
“That’s one thing that hopefully could be improved on and hopefully a knock-on effect of the Tour coming to Liverpool.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hannah Fawcett, who founded the cycling club, said: “Every year we do a longest day ride and we…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671172,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-671171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
