Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.

Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

  • Jim Guiton Hi I'm Jim.

    I had not ridden a bike in years but last year I joined in with the sky rides and had a great time, I'd forgotten how much fun it was riding a bike.
    If your thinking of getting out on a bike ride but have not ridden a bike for a while the sky rides are a fantastic way to get back into cycling.
