This is a ride that I have been training for over the last 12 months. I have cycled almost 5,000 miles and lost 20kg along the way - as well as having a lot of fun!
I am doing this as a personal challenge, but if I can raise some money for a good cause along the way then everyone's a winner!
A little bit about the great work done by You Can Bike Too....
You Can Bike Too are a community based project in Cambridge who have made it their mission to make cycling an accessible activity for all.
You Can Bike Too hold regular sessions with their numerous specially developed bikes around the sanctuary of Milton Country Park under the supervision of the trained volunteers. They have a bike to suit every need and the instructors have the experience to be able to adapt the bikes they have to ensure all riders are safe and comfortable.
For anyone wanting to enjoy riding these amazing bikes around the country park, You Can Bike Too run sessions on alternate Tuesdays and Sundays. “Try it out Tuesdays” are a great opportunity to go and experience these machines and get comfortable in a relaxed environment. “Family Fun Sundays” not only makes cycling accessible, but it opens it up to be something the whole family can enjoy together.
You Can Bike Too have trained the Rangers at their base at Milton Country Park to be able to assist anyone wanting to book and use a bike outside of the scheduled sessions.
Looking to the future, You Can Bike Too want to be able to train more instructors (it currently costs over £1200 to fully train volunteers- this is cost for a group) to be able to provide longer and more frequent sessions in the park and around the region.
