Rotary Ride Fun ride – this is for all ages and abilities. An ideal way for amateurs, families and youngsters to get involved through an event that is fun for all. 2.Enthusiasts – for the more established riders, give your club a challenge by holding a long distance or cross-- ‐ country ride. We also recommend getting in touch with your local cycling club so can encourage a whole team of keen cyclists to get involved. 3.Static ride – you don’t have to cycle the length of breadth of the country to take part, in fact you don’t even need to go anywhere. A static ride involves jumping on an exercise bike and is a great way to work as part of a team by taking turns riding to a goal distance. Think about contacting your local gym to work in conjunction with them to get more people involved.
