Three sisters are celebrating becoming first, second and third in a regional cycling competition.

The Raw sisters, from Guisborough - Zoe, 12, Kirsty, nine, and Megan, eight - competed in the North West Youth Tour.

Megan won the U8s category, Kirsty came second in the U10s and Zoe finished third in the U12s

The unisex competition has six rounds at venues all over the North West, which involved the girls' patents driving 1,500 miles over several weekends so they could participate.

The series involved mountain biking, cross cycling and road biking.

Zoe, who attends Lawrence Jackson School, and Kirsty and Megan, who go to Highcliffe Primary, have been cycling for three years and were introduced to the sport by their parents.

Mr Raw said: "We make a weekend of it by taking the caravan - it's something we can all do together. The children don't have to ride if they don't want to, but they are so enthusiastic. They enjoy it a great deal."
