There is a very good reason why Le Tour de France and the UCI World Championships came to Yorkshire: Join us and find out.  

Welcome to Le Petit Depart - a cycle event celebrating the very best cycling the Yorkshire Dales has to offer and of course following in the wheels of the spectacular 2014 Tour de France: Grand Depart and the 2019 UCI World Championship Road Races.  Le Petit Depart will follow the same route north of Skipton as these races.

Starting from Skipton, Le Petit Depart offers TWO fantastic routes to cater for all abilities.

Classic 80 mile Sportive Ride follows much of the Tour de France stage 1 and 2019 UCI World Championships route taking you over 5 climbs and along 6 dales. From the head of Wharfedale the route goes over Kidstones, the first official climb of the 2014 Tour de France.

The 80miler continues along Wensleydale to Hawes, before returning to Skipton via the impressive Ribblehead viaduct, the quaint market town of Settle and lovely Malhamdale. The route returns to Skipton via scenic villages and a fast run back into town.
