About this event

The BDOVELO John O’Groats to Land’s End Challenge is a new event designed to demonstrate how active our BDOVELO community is and have a little fun at the same time.

To take part, register your own personal rides until the end of 2020 using the Map my Tracks website and App (details below). Please remember to follow the current cycling advice.
