The Tour de France Grand Depart of 2014 shone a light on Yorkshire
as a world class cycling destination. But the triumph that was Le
Tour was in many ways the latest encounter in a unique long
distance love affair between the White Rose and the most
challenging race on the planet. From the culture shock that working
class Yorkshiremen experienced cycling alongside the continental
greats of the 1950s and 60s to the golden triumphs of
post-Millennial Olympic success, Cycle Yorkshire tells the region's
cycling story through the eyes of the riders themselves. It delves
into how the pit villages, steelworks, glorious landscapes and
riding routes of Yorkshire have played their part in pioneering and
sustaining British cycling at home and abroad. And it explores the
stories of bravery, passion and heartbreak behind legends like
Brian Robinson, Barry Hoban, Tom Simpson and Beryl Burton and the
successes of modern day greats like Malcolm Elliott, Ed Clancy and
Lizzie Deignan, while looking at what the future might hold for the
sport in God's Own Country with its first Road World Championships
on the horizon in 2019. There are exclusive interviews, first
person musings from the centre of the action and informed guides on
the region's best cycling climbs and top training routes along the
way. It's the ultimate account of Yorkshire's cycling story.
