Tokyo 2020 Olympics: Try your hand at some of Team GB’s most successful activities
Cycling
A dizzying array of disciplines on two wheels – from team sprint to the Keirin, Ominium and road race – there are now 22 different cycling events on the 2020 Olympics schedule.
It’s not every day however, that you get the chance to learn from an Olympian. If you’re lucky enough to snap up a place with luxury tour operator LeBlanq, you’ll get to cycle with the most decorated Olympian (eight medals) Sir Bradley Wiggins. It’s pricey, at £2,045, all inclusive, for three nights but imagine the bragging rights!
The weekend (17-19 Sept) will involve joy rides at varying levels, five course dinners and a seven course Tour de Feast on the second night with the hosts, alongside supporting team riders such as Adam Blythe. Accommodation is at The Royal Hotel Ventnor. leblanq.com
Alternatively, Northumberland is a hidden gem with fabulous scenery on tap for cyclists. It’s home to gentle hills and meandering rivers, so try a self-guided three-day leisurely ride along the coast past castles and fortresses.
You’ll begin in Warkworth before heading to the beaches of Embleton and Bamburgh before crossing to Lindisfarne and finishing in Berwick-upon-Tweed. Accommodation is B&B with some meals, route notes and luggage transfer service.
