The puzzles encourage teamwork and friendly competition, making it ideal for couples, families and groups of friends. The electric bikes smooth out hills and longer distances, so everyone can join in and enjoy the adventure. Starting near Lymington and Keyhaven means you’re straight onto scenic coastal trails and lanes not busy roads. It’s immersive, active and far more memorable than a standard cycle ride.
