We’ve all got that one bike ride that we’ve been dreaming about completing for as long as we can remember but never quite seem to get round to doing it.

Make this weekend the time that it finally happens.

With all of the loved up couples spending the weekend cosying up at home with red wine and candles, the cycle paths are left free for the dedicated cyclists to push themselves that little bit harder.

Get up early Saturday morning, pack your panniers full of special Valentine’s treats and hit the road – just you and your bicycle. Could it be any more perfect?

And when you head back into the office Monday morning and everyone asks how you spent the weekend, you’ll be able to tell their smug coupley faces that you conquered that one ride that has been on your bucket list forever. That will shut them up.
