Inspired By The Tour De France – Then Get On Your Bike For Free Guided Ride!

This summer is all about cycling, as the Tour de France returns to the UK for three stages, with the Grand Depart taking place on Saturday, 5 July in Leeds.

Now you can do more than just watch the event – be inspired and get involved with Sky Ride Local in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

The Tour de France, steeped in tradition and prestige, is one of the most eagerly-awaited cycling events on the annual sporting calendar. Over three weeks of grueling racing, the world’s best riders will compete for the coveted yellow jersey. If Le Tour has inspired you to dust off your bike and go for a ride, British Cycling, in partnership with East Riding of Yorkshire Council, is running a series of free bike rides to get you pedalling this summer.

With Sky Ride Local all the planning has been done for you. British Cycling has found the best routes, trained up friendly ride leaders to guide and support you and picked some cracking places to visit along the way.

With three different levels on offer, you certainly don’t need to be a pro rider to take part. There’s something for everyone – whether you’re building your confidence or looking to stretch your legs on a cycling challenge.

What’s more, take part in two or more Sky Ride Local rides in July, and you can grab yourself some cool British Cycling gifts, including water bottles, neck buffs and the chance to win a VIP cycling experience to the Tour of Britain this September.

So, if the return of the Tour de France to British soil has inspired you to get cycling, just visit www.goskyride.com to find a ride near you and book your free place. It couldn’t be simpler to get on your bike and ride.
