About the Ride

The UK's First Inclusive Ultra-Endurance Cycle

RideTogether 200 is not a race. It is a cooperative ultra-endurance cycling event designed from the ground up around one principle: disabled and non-disabled riders completing the same route at the same pace together, as equals, from start to finish.

The route runs 221 miles from the Liver Building waterfront in Liverpool to Pedal Power in Cardiff Bay — a coast-to-coast crossing of England and Wales over four and a half days, with over 100 miles on traffic-free paths and canal towpaths.

There is no finish line unless everyone crosses it. Every mile is shared.

The event is fully bilingual: all signage, marketing, and communication is produced in both English and Welsh.

More about Wheels for Tenacious

No One Left Behind

The team finishes every mile together. A shared pace means exactly that — no one sprints, no one waits. The fastest rider is only as fast as the slowest, and that is not a weakness: it is the design.

Mixed Ability, Always

Disabled and non-disabled riders. Standard bikes, trikes, tandems, hand cycles. Adaptive equipment is arranged through our charity partners so that no equipment barrier stands between a rider and the finish line.

Bilingual Throughout

All event material — web, print, signage, communication — is produced in English and Welsh. Beicio Gyda'n Gilydd 200. Cycling Together 200.

It is not that disability doesn't matter; it is the ability to adapt that matters more.

On SV Tenacious, you don't help a disabled crew member; you crew alongside one. The ship only works if everyone does their part. We're doing the same thing on two wheels.

Why This Ride Matters

Born at Sea. Built on Wheels.

Wheels for Tenacious grew from the ethos of SV Tenacious the world's largest accessible wooden tall ship, built specifically to sail with mixed crews of disabled and non-disabled people. Tenacious demonstrates, voyage after voyage, that integration and accessibility produce something stronger than either group achieves separately.

RideTogether 200 brings that principle ashore. Not as a charity ride where disabled participants are supported. Not as a mainstream sportive with a token accessible category. As a genuinely integrated team cycling the same miles, the same terrain, at the same pace.

That means the ride changes what people understand to be possible, for disabled cyclists, for non-disabled cyclists, and for everyone who watches them arrive together at Cardiff Bay.

The Route

Liverpool → Cardiff

A coast-to-coast crossing that takes in UNESCO World Heritage landmarks, the Severn Valley, Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), and over 100 miles of traffic-free canal towpaths and cycle paths.
