Updated - 12th March 2010

As usual, the events in this calendar cater for riders of all abilities. 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 events don't represent all the riding activities of CTC in the areas concerned, just those which qualify for awards. They are open to all CTC members, and most will count towards the CTC's Tourist Competition. Events with a blue background are organised by CTC West Yorkshire, those with a gold background by Huddersfield and District CTC. The two member groups work closely together with their events.

The events are organised by month: April, May, June, July, August, September and October. All are Sundays except where indicated.

Details for organisers etc are at the bottom of the page.
