- 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.
- 3 hours 25 mins (2 hours 25 mins cycling)
- 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.

I really enjoyed this ride with some hills and great scenery. It was well organised and the group was fantastic! Loved every second of it ! -

Great cycle. A few tough hills to get your heart & legs going. All good exercise stuff, despite my out-of-breath words during the event. -
Good challenge. Those hills pushed you. It was the leaders who were encouraging too that I appreciated.
