Transaid calls on supporters to saddle up

The ride will begin on Box Hill, which featured in the London 2012 Olympics road race, before navigating 110km through the beautiful Surrey Hills countryside. Participants will enjoy a sustained climb up Leith Hill – the highest point in Surrey – before crossing the South Downs National Park to reach the Portsmouth to Fishbourne ferry, with just a short cycle remaining to reach the hotel.

Day two in the saddle will feature a bucket list loop around the Isle of Wight, taking in 107km of rugged island scenery and challenging climbs that pass through charming villages, chalk coastlines, wooded glens and historic sites, returning to the hotel to celebrate the conclusion of the event.

Riders preferring a 2026 adventure further afield are invited to sign up for Transaid’s next international adventure, Cycle Tanzania, which will run from 17-26 September. This challenge will see a team of riders pedal 454km from Mount Kilimanjaro to Pangani on the Tanzanian coast. Limited spaces remain, and as such Transaid is encouraging prompt registration.

To sign up for either event, or find out more information, please contact Anna Giavedoni, Events Manager for Transaid, via anna@transaid.org or by calling +44 (0)20 7387 8136.
