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.
The 2025 Ripon Rotary Charity Bike Ride once again was blessed by brilliant May sunshine, whilst raising funds for good causes.
At this time we are always waiting for the riders’ sponsorship monies to be finalised, but we know already that we will have raised another substantial amount for our focussed charities – Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Saint Michael’s Hospice, Dementia Forward and other Rotary charities.
This year, we had 253 riders leave the Bishop Monkton Village Hall and we welcomed a number of new riders. However, so many riders enjoy this well marshalled unpressured ride that they come back year after year. Is it the excellent water/food stops and cake at the finish?
The next ride is already booked for Saturday 9th May 2026 and we look forward to seeing all our riders next year – why not bring a friend? That would help us to increase our charity donations!
We are very grateful for the support of our corporate sponsors and the sponsorship gained by our riders. Don’t forget you may always donate on JustGiving.
When you register, you will have the option to subscribe and with your permission, we will be in touch with our occasional newsletter.
Enjoy your cycling!

“…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!
