On your bike? Join in with this year’s Life Cycle

1,100 miles, 11 riders, two weeks - this year's epic Life Cycle challenge gets underway on Monday (19 August). The ride starts on the University's Jubilee Campus - fittingly, the former home of Raleigh Cycles - and finishes in style at University Park on Sunday 1 September, taking in Edinburgh, Belfast, Dublin, Cardiff and London along the way. And everyone can get involved in the challenge - whatever their age or fitness - with a range of fun events, including a celebratory community open day and the chance to join the riders for the final leg on 1 September.
