Big Cogs Training 2025

Big Cogs beer at the Swan

The eleven Big Cogs taking part in this year’s ride have been stepping up the group cycling recently to get ‘match fit’ for the starting line … now just over two weeks away 😮

All of us individually cycle different amounts due to other commitments, hobbies, family weekend life, work ! etc. but everyone to a man has increased the mileage over the last two months as part of their commitment to this challenge 🚴‍♀🚴‍♀🚴‍♀😅 and the great charities we are supporting 🥰 … so thanks again to those that have sponsored us so far and ‘keep it coming please’ !

This lovely spell of weather has also encouraged the indoor cyclists amongst us back out onto the road 😉 and recent rides have included:

22/3 : 67 mile Barnsley loop

5/4 : 55 mile ride out to Wentworth

12/4 : 50 mile Howarth loop

18/4 & 19/4 : Upping the mileage to 75 and a great turnout over the two days we went in different groups on the same route out to Sherburn and Temple Newsam

26/4 : 50 miles out to Wintersett

Chapeau to Lee, Aspey, Rob & Clarky for doing all five 💪 but the whole group have done at least three Cogs rides each over the last two months aside from countless other solo & group rides.

A couple of pushes over the next two weekends (watch this space) and we’ll be good to go 🎉🎉🎉
