Join #TeamHDA for the first UK Grand Départ in over a decade!
In July 2027, the Grand Départ of the 114th Tour de France comes to the UK for the first time since 2014, and you can cycle the opening stage the day before the professionals race it! Same roads. Same climbs. One day early. Fully supported. Just turn up and pedal!
Event information:
Cycling the route of a Tour de France stage - one of the biggest and most gruelling sporting events in the world - is a fantastic achievement, and it’s very rare to be able to do it on British roads.
With two nights’ accommodation, and a transfer back to the start-point for a big celebration, Discover Adventure will make the rest of the experience as convenient as possible for you, and leave you perfectly positioned to watch the pros the next day!
