STRUGGLE TEN: 24TH MAY, HARROGATE

POWERED BY:

THURSDAY 16TH APRIL 2026 | GRANTLEY HALL, NORTH YORKSHIRE

NETWORK BIKE 2026

Ride, Network, Grow

Network Bike is the sell-out business networking cycling event hosted by Yorkshire's leading cycling events company, Struggle Events, and held at the five star Grantley Hall hotel.

The day focuses on business networking in an informal setting, in which cycling is an ideal icebreaker. Paced groups for varying abilities rotate - speed-dating style - to create the ideal networking platform on the bike. Off the bike, a pre-ride networking breakfast and two-course networking lunch at Grantley Hall gives you further opportunities to network during a great day out of the office.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A DAY OF NETWORKING BY BIKE

1. PRE-RIDE NETWORKING BREAKFAST

Join us pre-ride for breakfast rolls and tea and coffee as we network in a relaxed setting. Our riding groups are organised based on ability so you may not get chance to ride with everyone. Therefore we suggest making the most of the morning to mingle.

2. NETWORKING RIDES FOR VARYING ABILITIES

We have two routes of around 35 miles and 50 miles and various riding groups organised by preferred riding pace, from 12mph to 20mph. Our expert ride leaders control the pace and direct the group to carefully rotate. You'll get to chat to everyone in your peloton. Think speed-dating on a bike!

3. POST-RIDE NETWORKING LUNCH

Back at Grantley Hall all groups will come together to enjoy a post-ride two-course lunch. It's an ideal opportunity to grab the contact details of those you've met on the ride.

JOIN THE NETWORK BIKE COMMUNITY

This bi-annual networking event is an ideal opportunity to join Yorkshire's vibrant business cycling community, meet like-minded business people and cyclists and get invited to other networking opportunities.
