This ride is part of the Hinckley Sky Ride Local programme, a National Campaign to get more people cycling for fun and fitness. British Cycling and Sky, in partnership with Leicestershire County Council and Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, have scheduled a series of themed guided bike rides taking place in and around the Borough throughout the Summer months. There are a variety of rides available which cater for all ages and cycling abilities, so there are rides for all the family to get involved with.
