I'm near you and there's already a lot of cycling clubs / teams in the area. My son's in Kirklees Cycling Academy and I'm in Ravensthorpe CC and there are lots of others nearby.

If you're looking at doing this and involving riders I'd suggest it needs to stand out. Who are you looking for? Also there's Cyclists Fighting Cancer already ( https://www.cyclistsfc.org.uk/ ) along with Team Cystic Fibrosis ( http://www.teamcysticfibrosis.co.uk/ ) who are a charity race team based in Huddersfield and would at least show a model of what can be done.

OK, although I'm surprised.

If you're looking to get others locally starting your own group usually happens with other riders involved. Hopefully you'll find these.
