Ready to kick off Tour season in style? On Day 1 of the Tour, we’re rolling out our very own mini‑France — right here across the stunning lanes of Essex, Herts, Suffolk and Cambs. The route traces the outline of France itself, and the only thing more magnifique than the scenery will be the company.

This is your chance to channel your inner Pogačar, unleash your best Cavendish sprint, and maybe — just maybe — pull on our very own Maillot Jaune by the end of the day. Who will conquer the climbs and be crowned King of the Mountains? Who will light up the flats with a blistering turn of speed? Who will simply enjoy a fab day out on fab roads with fab people?

Whatever your style, this ride is set to be an epic day out — big smiles, big miles, and a route that’ll make you feel like you’ve crossed the Channel without ever leaving home.

Bring your legs, bring your spirit, and bring your best Tour‑level banter.
Let’s make this one unforgettable.
