Do something charitable on your bike this summer!

Want to get out on your bike more this summer? Need some motivation to get back cycling?

If so why not try one of the organised charity cycle rides that Cycle Aylesbury is helping to support this year.

Firstly the Tour de Vale in aid of Wheelpower on Sunday 12th July - Originally scheduled to take place on June 7th this year it had to be postponed due to adverse weather. There’s a route suitable for all abilities with 15 mile, 30 mile and 55 mile routes. For more information or to download an entry form log on to www.wheelpower.org.uk

Also on Sunday 12th July the NSPCC are holding their big bike ride – Got a bike? Do something brilliant with it….

Join hundreds of BIG BIKE RIDERs on Sunday 12 July heading off from the grounds of Princes Risborough School, Buckinghamshire.  You can choose your challenge from the 25km, 50km and 75km off road routes. Whichever route you ride you're in for varied terrain, stunning scenery and a real sense of achievement.  There will also be music, food drink and plenty of support for you and your bike.  By joining the BIG BIKE RIDE and raising sponsorship you will be supporting the NSPCC's Child's Voice Appeal and definitely doing something brilliant with your bike!

Register online now for just £10 at  www.bigbikeride.co.uk and help to ensure that no child's cry goes unheard.


Or on Thursday July 30th Why not seize the opportunity to follow in the wheel-tracks of motor racing legends such as Lewis Hamilton or Michael Schumacher and cycle around the legendary circuit at Silverstone? One lap is just over 3 miles long and suits all cycling ages and abilities - ride as many laps as you like and help to raise money for people affected by cancer.

On Saturday 22nd August the British Heart Foundation are holding the Chilterns Off Road Bike Ride. Not a race but a personal challenge there are 75, 60 & 40 mile routes available.  There is an entry fee depending on what route you choose:

  • 75 mile - £35
  • 60 mile - £30
  • 40 mile - £25
Designed by a local guide, the routes take you through the stunning Chilterns countryside, using the best trails and offering a challenge to a range of abilities.

Heart and circulatory disease is still the UK’s biggest killer. The British Heart Foundation is the nation’s heart charity and they rely on donations of time and money to continue their life saving work. Entry fees cover their organising costs only, therefore they ask all riders to raise a minimum sponsorship of £50. By taking part in the Chilterns Off-Road Bike Ride and raising sponsorship, you will be doing more than just giving money to the BHF - you’ll be saving lives.


If you know of any charity cycle rides happening locally that we haven’t mentioned please email cycling@buckscc.gov.uk and we will add them to our listing.
