We are now only a few weeks away from the world’s greatest cycle race, the Tour de France and the eyes of the world will be firmly on our wonderful county during le Grand Depart.

As part of the build up, Dave Sowerby of Sowerby Cycles in Mirfield and the former Mayor of Kirklees, Martyn Bolt, have organised the Huddersfield Criterium cycle race on Friday 4th July.  At this unmissable event you will see professional and top amateur cyclists racing on the streets of Huddersfield and the cyclists will be racing right outside the Ridley & Hall offices!

To view the route of the course, please see the video below. The Ridley & Hall office is ideally located on Market Street and can be seen on the left hand side after the first left turn on the video.

Ridley & Hall’s Personal Injury department are hosting a ‘Cycling Soiree’ on the night of the Criterium in order to raise money for Hollybank and Brake (the road safety charity). The aim is for the event to be informal, with families welcome. Please feel free to use our premises as a base for the Town Centre event and enjoy any other activities running alongside.

Tickets are £7.50 for adults, £5.00 for concessions (children under 16, OAP’s and students) and family tickets (2 adults and 2 children) for £20.00. All ticket prices include food on the night – a Yorkshire/French fusion buffet, and a complimentary drink on arrival. All money raised will be split between both charities. Tickets can be booked through the Eventbrite website (a small booking fee applies).

We hope you can join us to experience this once in a lifetime event. Please do not hesitate to pass this to your friends and families and let’s make this an event to remember. We look forward to seeing you there!
