The Challenge
Fancy taking on this epic challenge?
As one of BHF's charity partners we are ecstatic to have places in this iconic London to Brighton Bike Ride (so don't be alarmed when directed to a BHF webpage). You can secure a place in this great race, whilst cycling and raising money for Alzheimer's Society.
You'll cycle the 54 mile route all the way from London to Brighton. You will take on the mighty challenge that is Ditchling Beacon, 2.7km long and 248m elevation. You'll reach East Sussex's highest point where you can take a well deserved rest with great views of Brighton, knowing the finish line is in sight.
Sign up now.
