Sky Ride Local in Ipswich

Challenging rides on the road for adults only

If you’ve been riding a road bike for a while, and perhaps been thinking about joining a cycling club, these rides – brand new for 2012 – are for you. The prospect of a speedy pace over twenty to fifty miles, and the strong likelihood of some hills thrown in along the way, means our Ride Strong Plus rides are not for the faint-hearted.

This is a mainly rural ride, through quiet lanes and countryside and incorporating a bracing ride along the Felixstowe sea front. On this pleasant circular route we'll take in fine views of the Sea, Forts and historic port of Felixstowe. Come and join us for a speedy spin of the legs!

If you've already tried one of our Ride Strong Plus rides and you're ready for the next challenge, why not try a British Cycling Sportive?
