Each year money is raised to fund free places which go to those who are unable to afford a place outright.

Charity No.2

50% of the money raised will go to Nai's House, a charity based in Bicester who work to reduce suicide, self harm and poor emotional and mental wellbeing in under 30’s by providing suicide prevention and holistic mental health support.

When you book your place, please select the 08:30 start time. You will get an email from the organiser telling you 'if you are planning to ride with anyone else it’s important that you send us the name(s) of the other riders'. Don't worry about this, we will send them the names of all who are riding in our team so they can group us together.

Our transport will be from a central Oxfordshire location to the start, this will be timed to ensure the people within our group who have the earliest start (if for some reason we are not grouped together) arrive in good time. Transport back from Brighton will leave following the last finisher of our group. 

The event is not a race and is an inclusive ride for people of any ability, you just need to be able to ride the full distance!

You will need to provide your own bike, and a helmet is essential. The bike doesn’t have to be anything special but should be comfortable and well maintained. Carrying your own drink and snacks is a good idea rather than relying only on the event stations and it's up to you whether you carry a bag or not.

You must be 18 years old and over, visit the London to Brighton website for more information. www.londonbrightoncycle.co.uk

You can register by clicking on the registration link on this page. Your registration fee covers the cost of your place and is not included in your fundraising target.
