There is a huge variety of races and distances to choose from, so there is bound to be a challenge that suits you, your team and/or your family!
Ride the North is making a comeback in 2026, bringing cyclists together to experience some of the most breathtaking routes across the North East. This scenic cycling event is as much about camaraderie as it is about the miles, making it ideal for both seasoned riders and keen beginners.
We’d love to hear from anyone eager to saddle up in support of our cause! Just email fundraising@befriendachild.org.uk
Please note there is a fundraising pledge of £150.
