The Thames Head Challenge is a fun Charity Bike Ride with a unique twist.
This one-day cycling challenge for both Relay Teams and Solo Cyclists starts at Putney, on the banks of the River Thames.
Riders bridge the river 15 times and finish 130 miles later at the very source of the Thames, near Cirencester in the Cotswolds.
A feature of this event is that riders of ANY ability can take part.
You can ride the Thames Head Challenge either as a SOLOIST – riding all 130 miles yourself [epic, or what!]
or in a RELAY TEAM of 2 or 3 or 4, dividing the route into stages between the Team Members – switching Riders as many times as needed or wanted.
The route has been meticulously planned to incorporate iconic buildings and places, stunning scenery and some of the most quintessentially English country lanes to be found in central southern England.
Minimum age for riders: 14 years

The self-professed cyclists are really self-claimed cyclists of the 'I'm a cyclist myself' variety
They should read scampercraft and not exaggerate the danger of scuttling along. I discourage squirrel predation by acting like one.
You can get the Varia for £10 less from Decathlon.
Perhaps they should apply the same standard to dangerous, unsafe, poorly designed roads and COMPLETELY rip them out rather than "fix" or "redesign"...
