The Otley Cycle Races are one of the most prestigious criteriums in the calendar, with past winners including Mark Cavendish, Jeremy Hunt, Jonny Clay, Chris Walker, Russ Downing and in 2011 and 2012, local star Scott Thwaites. Otley's own World Champion Lizzie Armitstead won the women's event in 2014!
Parts of Otley Town Centre will be closed for the annual cycle races. The race follows a 2.3km circuit starting and finishing on Bondgate where pubs will be rammed all evening as the town comes alive to support the racing. Otley Cycle Club is sponsoring the Super Prestige Bike Race for U16 girls.
