About
LockYourBike is a cycling weekend with a secret at its heart. Two nights, two riding days, one trail through the finest corners of Suffolk, everything handled, nothing left to chance.
The best holidays I've had, or watched other people have, weren't the ones where something beautiful happened to them. They were the ones where something happened because of what they did.
I cycled the length of New Zealand alone when I was 18. It was hard and slow and exactly right. The moments that mattered weren't on any itinerary. They were the ones I earned by being on a bike instead of in a car, going slowly enough to actually be somewhere instead of passing through it.
I built LockYourBike to make that feeling available to people who aren't going to cycle 3,000 kilometres. You don't need to. You just need a weekend, a group, and a trail worth following. I've built the trail.
Suffolk first, because it's mine. The Deben estuary, the quiet lanes, Framlingham, Orford — I know all of it and I've never found a way to show someone else what it actually is. LockYourBike is that way.

Every part of the weekend is designed to bring people closer. If a touchpoint doesn't strengthen the group, it doesn't earn its place.
A handful of exceptional partners, the best hotels, the best food, the right boat, over a long list of mediocre ones. Few things, all of them good.
Every route is ridden before you ride it. Every checkpoint is confirmed. The work is invisible by design, so all you have to do is turn up and play.
Suffolk Exploration launches with a small founders group this summer. If any of this resonates, tell us about your group, I'd love to have you.
