Dates:
2nd August to 21st August 2025
We will be following this rough route from Land’s End to John o’ Groats:
We will be riding roughly 50 miles per day, for just under three weeks – around 1000 miles in total.
Join for one day, or part of a day, or several days, or the whole thing – just turn up and ride.
The ride is self-supported, so please make sure you can carry all you need on your own bike. There will be a mechanic on the ride who can help with basic mechanicals, but will only be carrying a basic tool kit.
Accommodation
We will be camping throughout the ride, so you can either book at the same campsites (see below) or you can arrange your own accommodation in the places we are passing through.
Food
We will always pass through towns and cities where you can stock up on food/enjoy an evening meal. No food is provided as part of the ride, but we will take plenty of breaks so we can find places to eat.
