Join the Cycling Weekly Big Ride on MyWhoosh this Thursday

Apologies to any of our overseas readers who aren't 'enjoying' road melting temperatures or are completely unfazed by unending sunshine, but it looks like we're in for scorching temperatures here in the UK this Thursday.

This likely means that after months of complaining about the cold, the dark and the rain, many British cyclists will be opting to stay off the bike because it's simply too hot ride.

If you are staying in, though, we can help you get your riding fix with our second Cycling Weekly Big Ride, which is part of our MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge partnership. So set your fan to full power, fire up the smart trainer and join us for a highly sociable spin.

(And, of course, we'd love you to join us from parts of the world where hot, hot heat isn't currently an issue or, more likely, it simply doesn't bother you!)

Taking place at 5.30pm BST (12.30pm EST / 8.30pm GST) every Thursday, The Cycling Weekly Big Ride social spin is completely free to join, via the free-of-charge indoor cycling platform, MyWhoosh.

The ride will last approximately 45 minutes, and will be a relaxed affair at an average of around 2w/kg.

We've said the ride is sociable, and that means the chat function will be open for all to say hello, talk to other riders and, this Thursday, enjoy the company of Cycling Weekly's endurance addict Steve Shrubsall – host of our Going Long podcast
