My Dad & Me Cycle Adventure 2026

1. What experience does my child need to join?

Riders should already be comfortable cycling over 20 miles before being considered for this ride, as we’ll be covering approximately 50 miles.

We’ll be running training sessions in the Ilford area to help prepare your child — and you — for the journey.

2. What’s included in the price?

The package covers training and advice leading up to the trip, expert-led rides, all routes, hotel stays, ferry crossings, and train travel.

Food and personal expenses are not included.

3. Can I join if my child hasn’t done a long ride before?

A previous multi-day tour isn’t required, but your child should have completed a 20-mile ride (or similar) at least once before.

If they’re not quite there yet, we recommend joining our two-day tour to Belgium and back in August — a perfect warm-up!

4. What happens if something goes wrong with my bike?

Our ride leader will assist with any on-road mechanical issues.

In the event of a major breakdown, we’ll help arrange a taxi or train to the nearest bike shop or destination where repairs can be made.

We’ll always assist to the best of our ability, but any costs incurred will be your responsibility.

5. Do I need to bring my own bike?

Yes, you’ll need to bring your own bike.

If you don’t have one suitable for this ride, we can arrange a hire bike for training and advise on the best setup for the tour.

6. Is the route suitable for younger riders?

This is a more advanced tour, so riders should be aged 9+ and confident cycling longer distances.

We’ve carefully planned the route to remain safe, scenic, and achievable for committed young riders.

7. Can I sign up with another family?

Of course! We encourage families to join together — it makes the experience even more memorable.

8. How do I sign up?

Simply click the registration link below.

Spaces are limited, so we recommend applying early to avoid disappointment.

9. How will riders be picked?

Priority will go to those who joined us on previous tours, followed by new applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.

10. How will payment be taken?

Once your application is accepted, we’ll contact you with full details on payment, travel logistics, and kit requirements.

11. Are girls welcome?

Absolutely. This trip isn’t just for boys — it’s a chance for fathers to bond with their child or children, regardless of gender.

12. What ages are accepted?

We’ll consider children aged 9 and above, provided they meet the riding experience requirements.
