Rising to the challenge is something we all like to do, especially when we’re young. With the on-going promotion of cycling in the UK more and more mass bike rides are emerging – events like the Skyride series, which attracts 10,000 cyclists at a time.
These events are great for goal setting: finishing the London-Brighton, riding 100 kilometres and so on. Riding along with thousands of other people is a great social thing – and competing against your friends, or simply the clock makes it all the more rewarding.
How dangerous? 4/10The odd spill is possible.
How expensive?Events like the Skyride are free to enter; others have a small entry fee.
Adult time required?Travelling on the day of the event may be required but then you’ll probably join in.
• Pro’s – goal setting necessitates training and discipline. Good fun, and gives a sense of achievement afterwards.
• Con’s – there are a limited number of events on offer – but they are growing.
