If you're coming from afar, why not explore Newark and Sherwood for the remainder of your weekend.

If you're local to Newark and Sherwood and not heard of Active4Today before, you can request a 3-day guest pass to try out our full facilities. Get in some pre-event training or have some recovery and social time afterwards. Perhaps an easy swim Sunday with a rewarding sauna!

 

I'm scared I won't survive 8 sessions!

We've got you covered. Lead coaches will ensure intensity of each session matches expectation of you riding lots of sessions in a single day. Standing durations, high intensity efforts, sprints and recoveries have all been considered to make sure you enjoy your experience rather than endure it. This will be matched nicely with our partner offers to keep you energised.

If thinking of signing up but a little nervous you might not make it, rest assured. It's our job to make sure you don't just survive but thrive the whole day through.

Follow the Ride for Change socials for the latest updates, meet your coaches and see what yummy treats are available on the day!

What are the different session types on the day?

Across the 8 sessions, there are 4 cycle formats, all powered by the MOWL digital display system (we're talking two huge 5 metre digital displays for our ride-specific visuals!).

The sessions have been set out so team riders can access each class style even if bike sharing. Sessions 1,3,5,7, and sessions 2,4,6,8 have one of each format.

Sound good?
