Sky Ride Coventry

A great free fun event run by Sky to the encourage cycling in Coventry saw the Apache Brave Racing club cycle around the iconic Coventry ring road. The team gathered at the start near the council house where over 7000 other cyclist had lined up to begin their own journey around the old town before traveling through the redeveloped Far Gosford area which can now boast many restaurants and bars from around the world.

After passing through Coventry University building the route lead back out on to the Coventry ring road, the inner circle being closed off the motor traffic allowed cyclist to safely ride along trouble free, two lanes allowed the slower riders to keep out of the way of any faster and more advanced cyclist.

There was no set distance to the ride just a great chance to cycle along and enjoy the ride and meet fellow cyclists. The club agreed to meet at a set time back in the main square where they could chat about the ride over a coffee and cake. The weather was perfect and it was a great chance to get miles under the legs in a safe traffic free ride.
