“It's the 1st time I've ever ridden 100 miles and I'm glad I did it on the
Castle Ride.The organisation was spot on, the signage, marshals, the route
etc all were superb and well executed.”

"We all have our own Everest to conquer and taking on a personal challenge can change you and your life. It just needs you to make the decision, to step out of your regular, everyday life, and go for it! The roads not always easy, but the rewards from completing a big challenge and the feeling of personal achievement will stay with you forever. We are all born special and deep down we do have the strength to reach our own summits. What have you got to lose!"
