Winter can be one of the most rewarding times to get on a bike.

With early morning mist in the air and frost on the ground there's nothing like using pedal power to help get the blood pumping through your body!

Love to Ride's December celebration of riding, Winter Wheelers, returns this year and you’re invited.

What’s it all about?

Winter Wheelers is a cycling advent calendar for grown-ups. The aim is to keep you in the saddle and reward you for riding with fantastic prizes throughout December.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re used to putting on waterproofs, slapping on hi-vis snap bands and remembering to charge your lights or if you usually only cycle when the sun is out and the weather is fair. Taking part in Winter Wheelers could be the change in gear that propels you to riding all year round - and bagging a prize will help you make the change to being an all-weather rider!

Prizes every day!

Every day from 1-25 December you could win fantastic prizes including quality winter riding gear from Proviz, rechargeable lights and other practical winter riding accessories. Love to Ride will also be giving away £500 local bike shop vouchers on Wednesday 12 December and Christmas day – available to everyone who registers and records a ride for Winter Wheelers!

How to Register 

We’ve made taking part easy:

* Register in one minute at lovetoride.net

* Enjoy a ride between 1-25 December

* Record each ride manually or sync your favourite cycling app to automatically record every ride and enter the prize draws! Love to Ride connects with Strava, Ride Report, MapMyRide and Endomondo

* Encourage your friends, family, colleagues and clubmates to join in!

As well as daily prize giveaways there will also be prizes for encouraging others to join in and for clocking up the most miles in December. 

*New for 2018!* You can take part as an individual or ride with a cycling club or group. Love to Ride have launched a new clubs feature so you can easily track yours and your clubmates’ progress against others across the world. There will be great prizes to win in the new year for clubs and groups that top the national leaderboards.
