Stage One will start in seaside town of Bridlington and 174km later finish further up the coast in Scarborough. The riders, from all over the world, will pass through spectacular coastal scenery and the iconic North York Moors landscapes. From the start line in Bridlington the riders will head along the Flamborough Head Heritage Coast before turning away from the coast into the North York Moors National Park, through Dalby Forest and towards Pickering. They’ll then take a spectacular journey back to the coast at Whitby, and then south to Robin Hood’s Bay with the ultimate race to the finish line on the seafront at Scarborough. View Map

The riders will pass right through the centre of both Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay at approximately 1400 on Friday. The roads will be closed on a rolling basis and massive disruption to the normal daily routine is anticpated.

Both Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay are positively buzzing with excitement in the build-up to what is going to be one of the most spectacular spectacles in recent history. Fladry, advertising, and old bikes painted blue and yellow line the route already. It's going to be fabulous!
