The TDF Experience

Arrive at the hotel at your own pace and settle in. If you fancy stretching your legs, you can enjoy a self-supported spin which will take you over Embsay and to beautiful Bolton Abbey. Alternatively, take the afternoon to explore Skipton, have a quiet coffee, stretch the legs or chat with a few of the riders you’ll be cycling with. We’ll come together for a relaxed dinner, where you can meet your host, Zoë. It’s an easy way to get to know each other, run through a short overview of the rides and ask any questions.

Tour De France Stage Two travels from Keswick through the Lake District and Lancashire to finish on The Strand in Liverpool the same day. And we’ll be headed out into Lancashire to watch it. After breakfast together at the hotel, we’ll roll out, headed for the Côte de Trough of Bowland which is where we will base ourselves to watch the race pass by. A high pass through a National landscape, named by the county council as a King of the Mountains ascent, and the wildest place the race goes all day. This is your opportunity to experience the electric roadside atmosphere, with hundreds of fans lining the roadside, creating a festival like vibe. Following the race passing through, we'll ride back towards our base in Skipton, stopping enroute to refuel and debrief!

An easy-paced Sunday. Following breakfast at the hotel we’ll head out into the Yorkshire countryside for an easy paced loop, the perfect way to round off this exciting weekend. Once back at the hotel, we say our goodbyes, and head home with the best memories & plenty of stories to take home of a truly a memorable weekend of cycling.
