Sky Ride Local in Warwickshire

You don’t have to be the next Bradley Wiggins, but you’ll need to know your way around a bike and be fairly fit to take part in our Challenging rides. If you’re comfortable riding with other people and fancy a fresh challenge, these rides are perfect for you. They start at around twenty miles long, and are paced at between 11 and 12 miles an hour.

This Challenging ride starts in Warwick and travels along some beautiful Warwickshire lanes to a cafe stop in Kineton. Along the route we'll pass sites such as Warwick Castle and Chesterton Windmill before returning to Warwick mainly along lanes and cycleways.

• Nicholas Skinner Hi I'm Nick,
  I started riding at the age of 5 and have never looked back. Well only when about to make a turn that is.
  I ride to work and around the local Warwickshire country side most weekends and would love you to join me, British Cycling and Go Sky Ride. Whether you’re a first timer, returning and we've all been there too, or a regular cyclist,
  See you all soon
• Colin Reed I used to ride my bike a lot as a young boy and really enjoyed it. Much later I taught my own children how to ride. And occasionally I used to cycle commute in London. In 2011 I decided to get fit and began riding my bike 5 miles to work. The fresh air every morning was fantastic. Yes it was a little hard at first, but after a few weeks it became easy. After a few months I went out one day and cycled more than 10 miles! That gave me enough courage to try some easy bike rides with a cycling club and I rode further than I ever imagined! I loved cycling through the quiet countryside soaking up the beautiful scenery. So I finally caught the cycling bug!! Since then I've done many club rides, a few sportives, and two charity bike rides including 450 miles from Paris to Birmingham. In the last 2 years I've come a long way - it seems unbelievable - but if I can do it, anyone can!! I look forward to seeing you on a ride soon!
