This list comprises of a host of different routes, tracks and courses to take and conquer via bicycle. These include a host of tracks found in France, including the infamous Tour de France track. Up and down The Island of Tasmania in Australia. Through The Dolomites in Italy. And through various cities and small villages in Britain. <\/span><\/p>\n

In regards to the latter, you can challenge yourself to one of the most grueling bike courses going. Ranging a distance of 1000 miles,<\/span> the Land\u2019s End to John O\u2019Groats challenge<\/span><\/a> is the furthest possible distance you can travel in the British Isles and is a course that many cyclists take to challenging themselves to year in, year out. This one is about as grueling as they come, but you know what they say about grueling challenges: they make victory taste even better!<\/span><\/p>\n

Cycling through the dream \u2018to do\u2019 list of a cyclist is the perfect way to<\/span> motivate yourself into a healthier lifestyle<\/span><\/a>. Why?

And if that\u2019s not motivation to take this cycling challenge, and get yourself a healthier lifestyle, then what is? <\/span><\/p>\n

But taking your bicycle on these famous and grueling courses isn\u2019t the only way to stay fit. No, you could simply take your bike to your <\/span>local nature park<\/span><\/a> or, even more simply, you could just take to cycling to work each day. When you do so you will be able to see things about your local area that you just don\u2019t when you\u2019re traveling via car. What\u2019s more, you\u2019d be doing your bit to reduce your own personal carbon footprint too. Therefore, not only would you be cycling your way to your own personal good health, but you’d be doing your bit for the earth\u2019s health too.<\/span><\/p>\n
