Pedal Wye Valley is a new but is organised by Parkinson's UK Events Teams which is renowned for its quality charity sportives!

Here are some reviews from another of their events:

I’ve taken part in Pedal for Parkinson’s for the last five years. I cycle because my husband has Parkinson’s. I want to help find a cure and improve the lives of everyone affected by the condition. Deirdre Duncan, Pedal for Parkinson's Ambassador

Not only does this event bring together people with a connection to Parkinson’s, it also brings together a community that loves cycling. Dave Usherwood

I would encourage anyone of all cycling abilities to take part. It’s so well organised, there’s a route for everyone, and it's a great way to support and help make a difference. I feel very privileged to be a part of such a great charity event. Looking forward to cycling with team Parkinson’s in 2025. Susan, Pedal participant

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
