Welcome to the
Ripon Rotary Charity Bike Ride!

SAVE THE DATE!…
The 2026 Ripon Rotary Charity Bike Ride will take place on Saturday 9th May
The 2025 Ripon Rotary Charity Bike Ride took place on Saturday 10th May, with the route passing through the delightful countryside of the Vale of York.
We would like to thank all the participants, supporters, sponsors and volunteers for taking part.
You can also support us as a corporate sponsor, volunteer marshall or by making a donation on our JustGiving page.
We’re proud to announce that the Ripon Rotary Charity Bike Ride, held on Saturday 10th May 2025, raised an outstanding £11,000 in support of local charities.
This achievement was celebrated at a Sponsores Lunch on Tuesday 17th June 2025, where cheques were formally presented to our chosen beneficiaries:
- Yorkshire Air Ambulance
- Saint Michael’s Hospice
- Dementia Forward
- Alongside other Rotary-supported initiatives
With 253 riders taking part in the scenic ride through the Vale of York, the event was a joyful blend of community spirit, fundraising, and fun. The lunch provided a wonderful opportunity to thank our sponsors, volunteers, and charity partners for their continued support and dedication.
We’re already looking ahead to next year’s ride on Saturday 9th May 2026 – and we hope to welcome even more riders and supporters to help us make an even greater impact.
Warm thanks from all of us at

A huge thanks to the 250 riders on the 2024 event – the ride was incident free and we received a lot of very positive feedback – here’s a just a few examples…
“…the organisation was second to none”
“…and ooh, that cake to finish!”
“Thank you to the cheery marshals”
“Having a cheerful support vehicle was reassuring”
“the refreshments and water stops were so welcome on such a hot day”
“I’ve ridden since the Acorn days and will be back next year”
We look forward to seeing all our riders again next year – why not bring a friend – that would help us to increase our charity donations!
