Making a ride more of a challenge

[Dayvo]

Cycle blindfold and no peeping.

Run:

 

[Dayvo]

Have a beer and a chaser every time one or both feet touch the ground (including at traffic lights).

 

[gaz71]

Stop at a pub for a pint every 5 miles.

Remove the saddle for that 'King of the Mountains' feeling.

You could insist that everyone travelled completely self contained with food water and camping gear for the round trip. Anyone having to buy, beg, borrow or steal en route would have to make an additional contribution to the charity.

Cycle in ladies high heels

Or ride like a southern softy on his £8k bling bike and complain when you don't 'win' the charity 'race' !

But then he'd have to grow a trendy beard and convince himself that box hill was a hill.....

Given it's a corporate ride, and they ideally want people to raise money for charity, has anyone found ways of doing this as more of a challenge? Ideally not looking for something painful (like riding that far in a mankini etc), but wondered if anyone had brilliant ideas..

TIA

You could just fit Schwalbe Marathon tyres, that should be a sufficient challenge and handicap.

 

[I like Skol]

Full suss MTB has to be the way to go, with fat knobbly tyres.

Get rid of all the things you don't need like seat, pedals and gears and then just go for it. That's what I did for a motorway 50 miler :O)

Put the cranks on at non-opposite angles.

Ride with someone on your back

Borrow a pedicab and some passengers
