Ideas for my BIG BIKE RIDE

 

The BIG BIKE RIDE is a great way to get active and healthy, keep fit and give you something to strive for. It really is easy to take part; just set a date and distance, collect sponsorship and complete your challenge. A real sense of achievement!

Just make sure you let everyone know what you're doing and collect sponsorship for your efforts. And remember that every penny you raise will go towards the NSPCC's Child's Voice Appeal.

Set yourself a distance that's a challenge for you

Whether it's a mile, 5 miles, 25, 50 or 100 miles - it's all part of the BIG BIKE RIDE.

Double the fun

Get a friend, colleague or family member to join you, or go as a group and increase the amount you raise.

Take part as a family

Challenge your little ones to a lap round the local park!

Spinning at the gym

Persuade your gym to donate a spinning room to get your friends or colleagues to take part in a BIG BIKE RIDE spinning challenge. Collect an entry fee for taking part and ask everyone to get sponsored.

Motorbike challenge

If you're more a motorbike fanatic than a bicycle one, then why not set yourself a motorbike challenge (Lands End to John O'Groats is only 847 miles!) and ask people to sponsor you.

Take Part at Work

The BIG BIKE RIDE is a great activity for companies and last year many of our corporate supporters took part. Why not use it as a team building exercise or just a fun team day out?

Race in reception

Put a static bike in your office reception and ask colleagues to pedal as far as they can in 5 or 10 minutes and to make a donation to take part. You could make it a relay event over a set distance!

Inter-office challenge

Challenge each branch of your company to see who cycles the most miles in a week or day, and place bets on who will win.

Team building cycle

Ask managers if you can take the afternoon off for a team building event and go for a ride around your local area. Ask those taking part to donate an entry fee.

Cycling week

Challenge your colleagues to cycle to work for a week and donate the money they'd save on petrol, bus or train fares.
