We welcome anyone to join and ride with us, whether this is your first time or someone who has participated on previous rides. We will never leave anyone behind. Riders who have missed previous rides / weeks are always welcome to join this weeks ride. All we ask is that new riders arrive approximately 20 minutes before scheduled start time.
** Please note that the challenge is now at week 10, where the distance is circa 100km (62.2miles) , which a approximately 5-6 hours of cycling.

For all your rides we recommend that you bring a spare inner tube that is suitable for your bike, plus a pump. We request that all riders wear a cycle helmet (compulsory for children). If your wheels are bolted on, then please bring a spanner that fits your bike’s wheel nuts.
