Schoolchildren will take part in a cycling workshop ahead of the 2015 Aviva Women's Tour coming through the county.

Residents will get the opportunity to see up to 100 of the world’s top female cyclists as stage two of the event comes to Essex on June 18, starting in Braintree and finishing in Tendring.

Some 20 primary schools along the route will take part in a free cycling workshop and the first will be held on Monday at Great Bradfords Infants School, in Marlborough Road, Braintree.
