Get Active with Cyclefest and Experience Freedom

As my children are now a little older the one activity we love to do as a family is hitting the cycle track near our home which runs all the way along the River Taff from the Brecon Beacons to Cardiff and has become one of our favourite weekend past times that we can do all together as a family because lets be honest it can be pretty tricky to find a physical activity that crosses the age divide as much as cycling does. I have struggled up to this point to fit in consistent physical activities and exercise since having kids. Which is why activities we can do altogether are the best and since my eldest has taken to cycling so much it's become something we really look forward to on weekends and we even have a trailer so our toddler can come along for the ride.

As my fitness and passion for cycling increases, I am always looking for little challenges, whether that be to do longer stretches of our local cycle track or see how long we can stay out on our bikes it's good to have a goal. This summer we have been looking at different ways to keep it interesting and the spark going especially with our 7yr old and I am really excited to tell you about the family-friendly Cyclefest, organised by Experience Freedom which is happening across two different venues over the summer. Cyclefest involves either a sporting route for the more serious cyclists as well as an 8-mile family bike ride suitable for young and old.

Cyclefest is happening at Sledmere, Yorkshire on the 27th May and also in Monmouth on the 26th August and your Cyclefest entry also allows access to the National hosted by the Caravan and Motorhome Club so if you're really looking for an adventure why not grab a pitch, camp and make a weekend of it. Both events are to be action-packed days out with craft areas, street food, bike demos and finisher medals for everyone that crosses the line of the family bike ride.

What we really love about cycling is being able to see parts of the UK from a different perspective, cycle track often take a more scenic route and it's a great way to get outdoors and have some downtime that is also quality family time. I also love the community that comes with exploring this beautiful country on two wheels so I love the idea of coming together with other like-minded families. If you sign up for the event you will also be automatically be entered into a competition to win a 6-night holiday in the Loire region of France. If your looking for an outdoor, cycle friendly adventure Experience Freedom the organiser of Cyclefest has an array of cool glamping and camping pods as well as yurts at over 40 sites in the UK.

Good news I actually have one set of family tickets (2 adults and 2 children) to giveaway to one lucky reader. The winner chooses which event they want to attend and the giveaway ends on the 20th May 2018

  1. This looks super fun! Is it just for families or do you think a couple without kids would enjoy it too?

    1. Yes they have two different routes - a longer and more intense one and then the family route that is open to anyone

  2. That sounds so fun. We live just near the Camel trail which is a flat old railway track in Cornwall and we are planning to get the kids on their bikes this summer :)

  3. I've never been too big on cycling - mainly because we live in such a busy urban area. It just doesn't feel safe cycling on busy London roads, especially as the police will stop and fine you if you are on the pavements (even kids!). I hope to rectify this if we ever move out of London :)
