Challenging rides

If you have built up your experience on a bike, have a good level of fitness, are confident with bike handling and feel happy riding generally, it sounds like you are ready for challenging rides. These rides enable you to progress your cycling: ride greater distances, at a faster pace, on busier roads.

Go further and faster and spend more time in the saddle.

Suitable for people with a good level of fitness and some group cycling experience.

Rides might be on busier roads, have steeper hills and fewer stops.

Ideally you can ride up most hills without having to get off and walk. You may find it helpful to attempt some steady rides first, to make sure you are ready for a challenging ride.
