Yorkshire is preparing to welcome the best riders from around the globe when the 2014 Tour de France rolls out of Leeds for its Grand Depart on Saturday July 5.
And Rapha will take the opportunity to celebrate the best of road cycling over the weekend, having launched the Rapha Tempest.
The festival, to be held on Broughton Hall Estate, is within comfortable cycling distance of the Yorkshire Dales roads which the Tour de France peloton will head down over the weekend.
Named the Tempest after the owners of the owners of the Estate, the two have joined forces to plan a four-day celebration of cycling from Thursday July 3 to Sunday July 6.
Big screens will be on offer to watch the action unfold, alongside a host of activities including rides, racing, bespoke on-site camping, visual displays, music, workshops, films and partying.
The festival will also feature guided rides in the days and evenings and a mini Super Cross event too at one of the iconic venues of Rapha’s Super Cross Series.
Secure 24-hour bike parking and an on-site Rapha Cycle Club are also available, and tickets – which are available now – start at just £85 for the weekend with four tiers of camping available.
