CTC West Yorkshire, in conjunction with CTC Huddersfield and District, organise a program of events each year, running from March until October, with rides from 16 miles to 600km. Standard Rides and Audax events offer the opportunity to complete non-competitive touring rides over a variety of distances inside usually generous time limits. Audax events are organised under the rules of Audax United Kingdom, the long distance cyclists’ association, and are part of a national calendar, attracting riders from all over the country. Standard Rides are local events offering a little more informality but with a similar sense of achievement. More details can be obtained from the organisers or the Events Secretaries.

The rides programme for 2011 is now completed, but below you can find some dates for your diary for 2012. More events are in preparation, and a final programme will be agreed next spring. PLEASE NOTE: The date for the Ride-out lunch is the 1st of April, NOT the 8th.

Events organised by CTC West Yorkshire are shown with a blue background, those organised by CTC Huddersfield and District with a pink background.
