Tour de France – by ‘eck!

The very first Tour de France started outside the Café Reveil-Matin in the village of Montgeron in the south-eastern suburbs of Paris on 1st July 1903.

On Saturday 5th July 2014, this year’s Tour de France will start just down the road from Gregg’s Bakery in City Centre Leeds. By ‘eck – what a long way the race has come!

To celebrate this auspicious event Ferno are organising a celebration for our staff on Friday 4th July at our Cleckheaton Head Office. There will be lots of cycling (and World Cup Football) related fun with a few surprises in store.

The day starts with Ferno staff undertaking a marathon distance (26 mile) cycle ride from Tadcaster to our Cleckheaton offices. The “Grand Depart” will take place at 08.30 hours from Sainsbury’s car park in Tadcaster. We estimate that the “Ferno Peloton” will arrive at Ferno HQ sometime before Christmas!

Those of us taking part in this epic cycle ride expect a warm welcome from our colleagues (with lots of hot coffee and breakfast sandwiches) when we finally arrive at HQ.
