AROUND 100 cyclists braved the drizzle this morning to mark the 50th anniversary of the University of Bradford and raise money for scholarships.

In the inaugural Cycle Sportive event, participants could choose between a 50-mile route or a 50km route with fewer hills.

Both routes took in small villages like Haworth, towns including Bingley and areas of Bradford city centre.
