The ‘WHEELERS’ CHALLENGE RIDERS EVERYWHERE

Are you good enough to take on NOT 1 but 3 rides?

The Wheelers present their annual series of challenge rides for cyclists of different ages and abilities along routes of varying difficulty. These are not races and there are no prizes, the only stipulations being that the rider is fully self-sufficient and completes the distance within the prescribed time limit. All riders are welcome, entry is not restricted to members, come along and rise to the challenge, this Charity event needs your support.

Participants are expected to have some experience of group riding on the open roads and have a fully roadworthy machine complete with essential spares & tools. Riders must be in good health and be a minimum of 12 years of age, however there is no upper age limit!

Proceeds go direct to a registered charity selected by the club each year.
