Join Team Shine and conquer the iconic London to Brighton bike ride.
Conquer this 55 mile challenge from the buzzing city of London to the charming seafront of Brighton. You'll join over 4,000 riders as you make your way through the idyllic English countryside.
Once out of London you'll predominantly cycle along quiet country lanes passing through Mitcham, Carshalton, Chipstead, Banstead and Haywards Heath before taking on the challenge that is Ditchling Beacon – a mile long climb to the top of the South Downs where you will be rewarded with amazing views and a water break!
There'll be no need to be looking at a map as the route will be fully sign-posted so that you can keep your eyes on the road and enjoy the beautiful surrounding countryside! It's the perfect challenge for solo riders looking to get in some extra miles, beginner cyclists taking on their first big challenge or friends, clubs or corporate groups looking for a team cycle!
So sign up now, enjoy a great day in the saddle and receive that well earned medal when you cross the finish line!
