No 01 En route

A website worth
stopping for.

The world’s greatest cycling race is coming through our little corner of Yorkshire, and Birkenshaw deserves a proper welcome. This site is being built, lovingly and slightly nervously, to celebrate the moment the peloton rolls through the village.

Here’s what’s on its way before the big day.

The Village Programme

What’s happening in the run-up to race day: community events, school projects, window displays and an alarming quantity of yellow bunting.

No 02 Tous ensemble

This one’s
for everyone.

Le Tour de Birkenshaw belongs to the village. As the site grows, local schools, businesses, residents and community organisations will all be warmly invited to take part, to share their stories, show their colours and help give the world’s cyclists a proper Yorkshire welcome.

  • Schools

    Pupils, teachers and parents, not least those whose school gates sit right on the route. Art projects, history lessons and the loudest cheering section in the county.

  • Businesses

    Shops, pubs, cafés, trades and everyone in between. Window displays, yellow bunting, and possibly a croissant or two.

  • Residents

    Every front garden is a grandstand. Your memories, your photographs, your bicycle painted yellow and propped against the wall.

  • Community groups

    Churches, clubs, scouts and guides, cycling groups and societies: the people who make Birkenshaw, Birkenshaw.
