Spending a lot of time on your bike? Need an excuse?

Consider taking part in a cycle challenge event and raise vital funds for a local charity. Now is a good time to get out on your bike and into the glorious Surrey countryside.

Pick an event to enter and collect sponsorship on behalf of a local charity. For challenge events, you can join in some optional training rides, leading up to the event. You might even get a new cycling top – and you can’t have too many of those!
