4-6 July 2014, Harewood House, Yorkshire

Kicking off the ceremonial start to the Tour de France, the Dare 2b Yorkshire Festival of Cycling is an event anyone with an interest in cycling should attend.

Whether you bring your own bike or chose to hire from the festival, from day one you can get involved in an array of cycling events including an off-trail ride which lets you roam free and explore the beautiful grounds of Harewood House.

With professional track and road racing cyclist Lizzie Armtstead, Olympic triathlete Alistair Brownlee and professional duathlete and triathlete Jonathan Brownlee on board as event ambassadors, the event is bound to impress everyone that attends.

Make sure you check out The Handlebars, who will be performing iconic Shakespeare plays whilst on their saddles!
