This September, take your fitness up a gear and complete our virtual coast to coast cycling challenge.
Choose your distance from 120, 180 or 250 or even 950 miles and make every mile count.
From 1 to 30 September, take on our cross-country UK Wide Cycle Ride and pedal towards a stronger, healthier you.
Do it however and wherever you are – it's your race, at your pace. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, take it a mile at a time, or like to feel the burn on the spin bike, choose a distance that suits you:
- Route 1: 120 miles, the equivalent of Dundee to Fort William
- Route 2: 180 miles, Swansea to Bangor
- Route 3: 250 miles, Margate to Weston-Super-Mare
- Route 4: 950 miles, Land's End to John O'Groats
Get friends and family involved and take on the challenge of cycling the distance of the length of Britain, in your own time at your own pace, throughout September.
If you want to go the extra mile with a team onboard, clock up your miles and cycle the length of Land's End to John O'Groats.
Ride across the UK, whenever and however you can – and take on diabetes, one mile at a time.
Ready, Sept, Cycle.
