Summary

For many road bikers, cycling a stage on the route of the Tour de France is a great aspiration. So having had le Tour de France begin in the UK's stunning Yorkshire Dales in 2014, this is the perfect opportunity to see what cycling a professional road biking route is all about! Join us on a fantastic road biking holiday in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and get a taste of the Tour de France, right on your doorstep. 

We've adapted the official biking route of the Grand Depart to avoid cycling on the busier roads but the majority of this route is exactly as Froome, Cavendish and Co. would have ridden in 2014, including some epic climbs like Buttertubs Pass and Whipperdale Bank. Contact us to arrange your perfect road cycling holiday!
