We’ve teamed up with MyWhoosh to bring you more opportunities to ride together as part of the Big Ride Challenge community. From June onwards we will be running weekly group rides that everyone can join on the free platform. All you need to do is download the app, create a profile, link it to your turbo trainer, and join us every Thursday at 5.30pm. The rides will be lead by one of the CW team at a social pace (no more than 2.0w/kg) in one of the MyWhoosh worlds.

On the first day of each month we set our MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge riders two extra challenges to take on. These vary every month, depending on the seasons and where a typical riders's fitness is at that time of year. They're easy to complete if you ride regularly, and most of them can be done on indoor trainers as well as out on the road. Some challenges will focus on distance, or altitude gained, others on searching out new places to ride.
