The Bronte Sportive is a well established and challenging sportive in Bronte Country, West Yorkshire. This year our courses have been altered to encompass as much of the route taken by the Tour de France Grand Depart Yorkshire as possible.
The longest three routes cover 30 miles of stage 2 Tour, including the stunning sections through Haworth, Bronte Country and Penistone Hill; they also include England's longest constant incline of 6.42 miles up Cragg Vale. There are four routes that can be taken ranging from 23 miles to the 88 mile Bronte Monster.
All routes start and finish at Leeds City College in Keighley which has excellent transport links. The Bronte Sportive is organised by national healthcare charity Sue Ryder, your entry fee and any sponsorship money that you raise for us will help support your local Sue Ryder care centre. There is no obligation to raise sponsorship, but we are very grateful to those who do.

Mine too. Hid the rust fairly well.
The benefit of putting it in the cycle lane means that it won't get worn out as quickly. Unfortunately that would seem to be the only benefit. ...

Praed Street Paddington had wands installed after taxi cabs parked in the cycle lane, now the taxis still park in the cycle lane, inside the wands.
