At 70km, the Challenge Tour Ride will be a great way to take on friends and family over a route that still takes in much of The Tour of Britain stage. The ride follows exactly the same route as the Pro Tour Ride until approximately the 45km mark, just after Millwich. Entry for Challenge Tour Ride is £30, Sthe start time is 9am, and all participants must be over 14.
The Family Ride is a fun 20km ride for all the family, allowing groups of all abilities to enjoy the scenic Staffordshire countryside together, whilst helping to fight prostate cancer. Entry for the Family ride is £5, start time is 10am, and there is no age limit. This ride takes in a mixture of roads, towpaths and bridleway and includes one small hill.
