There will be various events organised by the riders themselves, Family Bike Rides, Quiz Nights, Treasure Hunts, BBQs, Static Bike Rides, Meals In, Meals Out, Pub Nights, and many more.

Please let us know if you are planning anything.

The “Final Word” event to announce the total of this year’s fundraising takes place on the evening of Wednesday 24th June 2026 at Specsavers Headquarters,La Villaize, St Andrews.

Where / How?

You may ride alone or with others. You may ride as near or far as you like. You may ride a bit in the morning and the remainder at night.

On Day One all riders are invited to enjoy a free breakfast together provided by Jemmy and the team at THE KILN Oatlands..

Also, on the final day riders are invited to ride their final mile together in procession to the end of the Rocque to Rock.

Riders also are invited to “The Final Word”, an evening presentation with welcome drinks and buffet when the total of all this year’s fundraising is announced.

Remember your only pledge is that you ride your bike for at least 60 minutes each day. If you need to go away then you may choose to ride your hour on a stationary bike within a hotel’s gymnasium and this is acceptable.

If for reasons beyond your control you need to miss a day then you can catch up as soon as time permits.
