Rider Testimonials

We love hearing from our riders about their experiences at our events. Here's some feedback from 2022:

“What a great day out, a great big thank you to all who those involved in the organisation of the event, you picked the best weather, it came across as a bit of a party atmosphere. Looking forward to next year already.” – Rob  

 

“The route was clear and easy to follow. Communication before and during the event was great. I really enjoyed the talk from pro-cyclists giving us an insight into the sport. The pre and post food and drink was also excellent - good choice and fab quality. We were made to feel very welcome and valued at the event. It was a privilege to support such a great cause.”- Stuart

 

“Absolutely fantastic day out, well organised, great weather and loads of freebies! The added addition of pro riders leading out too made it all the more enjoyable. All for a worthwhile cause too which is great - Will definitely be back next year!” - Andy

Never give up on children like Paddy

Paddy's Story

It’s truly heartbreaking to know that thousands of children across the UK are living with rare diseases that have no cures. And, that 30% of these children will tragically lose their lives before their fifth birthday.

Paddy was born with a very rare and severe seizure condition, called KCNT1-related epilepsy. The condition has no cure and often leaves children severely disabled. Many never walk or talk and sadly most will have their lives cut painfully short. 

We will NEVER stop fighting for children with rare diseases. That’s why we need your support. To help raise much-needed awareness of rare diseases and to raise urgent funds to support new research that offers all important hope for children like Paddy and their families.
