Cycle and Win

Cycle and WIN in the GoCycle Challenge

It's easy to sign up (click here) and make your miles count!

The countdown has started to our first cycling competition - GoCycle Challenge. Sam Ryan has been appointed as CTC Challenge Co-ordinator and will be encouraging as many people as possible to take to their bikes in March 2011. The GoCycle Challenge is a fun, free competition open to all. People only need to cycle for at least 10 minutes to stand a chance of winning some great prizes - it’s participation that counts not miles. See how many of your friends and family you can get cycling – they say you never forget how to ride a bike! Registrations online at www.gocyclechallenge.org .
“I never liked cycling and used to think it was so not cool. Ever since I took on this challenge, it has really changed my whole concept of cycling and I tell you it’s one of the wisest things I’ve done - cycling is definitely the way forward and I now encourage and recommend it.” (Akash, Oxford)
“Since the cycle challenge I have noticed that I am a lot fitter. I have lost some weight. I have more energy and saved money by not taxing and insuring the car.” (Rhianna, Chichester)
“The challenge was the kick I needed to get on the bike... now I have, I'm loving it and cycle to work whenever I can. I even miss it when I don't cycle!” (Claire, Milton Keynes)
