Go Sky Ride - Milton Keynes
Afternoon lovelies, hope you enjoyed your bank holiday.
On Sunday, I was invited to head over to Milton Keynes to take part in the Annual Sky Ride, a 4km route with stop offs along the way, celebrating all things cycling.

Over 5000 people turned up outside the shopping centre to kick off this years ride - families, groups of friends, new and old cyclists all took part, whizzing around the route.
Now I'm not the fittest of people at the moment, I've not been to the gym for a while (read 5weeks!) but the route wasn't too taxing, and there were plenty of opportunities to stop off, one place even had a range of bikes to try out - everything from penny farthings to clown bike ( the boy fell off quite a bit!)
There was a real carnival atmosphere and we stumbled upon these guys doing tricks on bikes - was amazing how they even jumped over a 3ft bar!

The ride is designed to get more and more people out, on their bikes, across the country every week there are free bike rides for you to join, you can choose the level at which you ride, I prefer a nice, leisurely ride where as the boy wants more speed, and there are a range of terrains and distances to suit everyone.
Cycling should be something that is free and easy for everyone to get involved in, you don't need a lot of specialist equipment, a fairly cheap bike, a stylish helmet and some reflective gear and your good to go!

I'm off out on my bike now, heading to the gym to get back into it, how did you spend your weekend?
You seem to have had a much more productive bank holiday than I did. I think I only got dressed about once all weekend, oops :/
ReplyDeleteThis post has kind of motivated me to get a new bike and start cycling, so thanks for that :)
Have a beautiful day
xx
This was about as eventful as my weekend got, sometimes you need a lazy weekend! Glad you want to get out on a bike, I'm loving mine at the moment
DeleteI also attended this! Did you have lunch with Molly? I missed her call as she rang whilst I was actually cycling around the route :( It was a lovely day though and it's definitely inspired me to get out on my bike more :) xx
ReplyDeleteHad lunch with Sally, was only me and another blogger - would have been nice to meet up - I loved the day, love whizzing about on my bike at the moment! xx
DeleteOh wow, well done! I worked most of the weekend so it was a bit of a wash out for me!! x
ReplyDeleteAww, poor you working - hope you didn't work too hard! xx
