Wintry months can be bleak, and drain you of your motivation. Sometimes new year's resolutions don't go quite to plan, and the January blues take over, parking your "new year, new you" goals....

That's where #2828 comes in, our 28 Day February Cycling Challenge. This is a personal challenge where you aim for a minimum of 28 minutes of cycling every day for the 28 days of February. If you can't cycle every day, why not throw in a bit of cross training: running, walking, swimming, weights, circuits, rowing... whatever it is that gets you out and about getting some fresh air. Turbos and spinning bikes are allowed also!

This is a facebook challenge so head on over and just click on the "interested" button on our FACEBOOK EVENT to join us for the month. Share your photos, your videos and your messages along the way, and we will share some tips along the way.
