Charity bike ride - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cr-tour-de-france
Stage 1 of the 2014 Tour de France travelled from Leeds Town Hall to the spa town (and home of Yorkshire Tea) of Harrogate in just over 200 km (around 2800 m of climbing) and a sprint finish (and a British Yellow Jersey?) is anticipated. But this stage is by no means flat and if you are planning on riding the stage then you might be interested in knowing what you are letting yourself in for.
We are proposing that we undertake this route over the course of two days to engage with as many staff members as possible.
Looking at the route we would suggest that we start from as near to Harewood house as we can. This is due to the very busy city centre traffic out of Leeds. Harewood house does charge bikes and cars for going through its property. We could start outside Harewood house but there would be a cost involved.
There is a car park close to the venue that I am sure we could use to leave cars for the night.
From there we propose a route that takes in the route of day one of the Tour de France. As pictured right.
