The level of training required will vary depending on the individual. We provide riders with the choice of training plans (novice, intermediate and advance) to get any level of rider into shape to enjoy and complete the ride.

It is important to remember that the key factor of training is to get out on the bike as much as you can, as well as learning key skills that you will need for the Ride. Therefore it is also recommended for riders to get some practice in group riding, train on undulating terrain and perhaps have a go at a multi-day sportive.
