26 Days in 2026
Kick-start your cycling year — one easy day at a time
Ride for just 20 minutes a day for the first 26 days of January.
Indoors, outdoors, turbo, stationary bike… and if life gets in the way? A simple walk counts too.
This is not a race. It’s not a test of heroics.
This is a gentle but powerful reset — a personal challenge designed to rebuild your fitness, your confidence, and your routine after the chaos of December.
You’ll be amazed at how much consistency you can build in less than a month.

Why 26 Days? Why January?
January is famously… well, difficult. Dark, cold, sluggish, full of sugar hangovers and “I’ll start again on Monday.”
So instead of aiming for a perfect training plan, you’ll focus on the one thing that actually works:
Show up. Every day. Even if it’s small.
By doing a short ride (or a walk when needed) for 26 days straight, you’ll:
Rebuild your fitness without overwhelming yourself
Regain your cycling confidence at your own pace
Create a daily routine you’ll actually stick to
Feel more energetic, positive, and motivated
Start the year with a win — instead of a guilt trip
Minimum effort. Maximum momentum.

3. A Clear, Achievable Goal
Just 20 minutes a day. Indoors or outdoors. Move your body. Tick the box.
This isn’t about speed, watts, KOMs/QOMs, or smashing anything.
It’s about building a habit you can keep long after January ends.
