The grueling bike race starts in Bridlington on Friday 28th April and consists of three stages; which will be completed across three days.
The riders will pass through Penistone during Stage 3; which is apparently the toughest stage of the Tour de Yorkshire, knicknamed “The Yorkshire Terrier”. The riders will enter South Yorkshire in Penistone, heading towards Stocksbridge, Deepcar, Wigtwizzle, Ewden Height and Midhopestones before finishing at Fox Valley. The stages are as follows:
- Friday 28th April Stage 1: Bridlington to Scarborough: 173km
- Staurday 29th April Stage 2: Tadcaster to Harrogate: 122.5km
- Sunday 30th April Stage 3: Bradford to Fox Valley, Sheffield: 194.5km
Penistone and the surrounding villages have been gearing up for the exciting race by decorating the streets with yellow and blue bikes, bunting and banners. There will be plenty of support for the competitors as they pass through the streets that is for sure!
