We've adapted the official biking route of the Grand Depart to avoid cycling on the busier roads but the majority of this route is exactly as Froome, Cavendish and Co. would have ridden in 2014, including some epic climbs like Buttertubs Pass and Whipperdale Bank. Contact us to arrange your perfect road cycling holiday!
