The Ride It! series of organised off-road and sportive road rides celebrates its first birthday in March and has seen over 6,000 riders pass through its doors in the first year.
Going from strength to strength we're pleased to announce a new batch of event dates and locations for the summer.
Ride It! takes the hassle out of weekend riding for the UK’s mountain bikers and road cyclists. We take care of researching and marking out the routes, providing the maps and giving you support on the day so you make the most of your riding time.
Entry is now open for all summer events and available to purchase online here - so get your diary out, book some rides and we'll see you at a Ride It! event soon!
