Join Cycling Weekly's Editor for today's Big Ride on MyWhoosh!
Add some miles to your MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge total, enjoy a 45-minute indoor social spin and chat with Simon this evening

Editor Simon Richardson will be back on his smart trainer this afternoon for the Thursday Big Ride Challenge MyWhoosh social ride. Our weekly rides are part of the MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge partnership, which is a development of the CW5000 which Simon introduced back in 2020.
The ride will last approximately 45 minutes, and will be a relaxed affair at an average of around 2w/kg and taking part means you can tick off your July bonus challenge.
The ride is designed to be sociable, and that means the chat function will be open for all to say hello, talk to other riders and quiz Simon about exactly 10 years at the helm of the world's oldest cycling magazine or his thoughts on the 2025 Tour de France. Simon will be leading you on one loop of MyWhoosh's Colombia Coffee Trail. This is a 27.9km ride, but don't worry it misses Colombia's notorious climbs as the total elevation for the route is a manageable 98m!
