I have just finished the Ride London programme and the facts speak for themselves. I produced the ride of a lifetime reducing last year's time of 5 hours 32 minutes to 5 hours 11 minutes.

"Having entered Ride London, I signed up for the Njinga Cycling Ride London Programme. The programme was excellent, covering the nutritional, mental and physical components ensuring my fitness greatly improved. I've gone from being a novice on a road bike to confidently using cleats & cycling in a group in just a few weeks."
SIMON ROBINSON
"The RideLondon programme surprised me with how prepared I was for the event particularly as I was only able to fit in 3 outdoor rides so it really was Njinga that got me ready. Overall a big thank you - you changed me from being someone who hated cycling and was dreading the event to someone who actually enjoyed Leith Hill, I could not have done it without the Njinga team!"
KATE BUTLER
"The Ride London Programme has been brilliant, I can’t believe how much I have come on in 8 weeks and I could never have tapped into that by riding my bike around the streets. It’s a different sort of training with coaches telling you the right things. I improved my FTP by 48 Watts which was massive and way above my expectations. Big thanks to the guys at Njinga because with the right team you will achieve your goals !"
