ABOUT US
Meet your hosts
Anton & Penny Flaherty, owners of The Strickland Arms pub in Great Strickland set this service up in response to cyclists enduring the logistics hassle of trying to organise a group C2C ride or riding in the lovely valleys & villages of Eden and Lake District.
Avid fans of cycling and Cumbria themselves, they are keen to help others get out and about in one of the most beautiful areas of Britain on the best mode of transport for taking it all in.
Please drop us an email or call with your questions - we are always happy to help.
Home Of Sir Bradley Wiggins' Yellow Jersey
How it all started...
with a visit from the Tour de France champions
Launched in November 2012, Yellow Jersey Cycling was inspired by Team Sky's visit to our pub The Strickland Arms, on their victory lap of Britain after their successful 2012 Tour de France.

2) Yellow Jersey TDF 2012 Loop around Penrith, Ullswater and Lowther. Cycle in the tracks of Sir Bradley Wiggins on his Tour de France victory lap through Britain.
