Small group numbers help create a happy, tightly knit unit, while accommodation and catering in fantastic hotels means your riders can relax in comfort at the end of a hard day on the road. Our use of experienced and friendly Ride Managers makes for good stories as well as the best advice and help. While back-up and support is second to none on our events, with each ride accompanied by a top spec Ride2Raise Land Rover Discovery packed with every spare and tool necessary. It even has a fridge! On most rides we’ll also lay on a sports massage for every rider - so they’ll be as supple
and refreshed as a Tour de France contender when setting off the next day! All our challenges are fully insured and, with health and safety a priority, there will be at least two qualified first aiders on each ride.

The ride was tough and challenging both mentally and physically. But this is what good stories are made of and this experience is one that I will never forget. I felt privileged to be part of a Ride2Raise ride and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it.

As a cycling enthusiast, London to Edinburgh was the perfect event to challenge my cycling abilities. The organisation exceeded all my expectations and the quality of accommodation we enjoyed was just superb and better than any event I’ve ever taken part it. The ride was an experience to be cherished and I’ve made friends for life.

What an amazing two days. The event achieved everything we’d hoped it would and more, from team building and health & fitness to fundraising and corporate PR. Importantly it was also a fitting way for us to remember a lost friend - and the finish was very emotional. I feel we developed a real bond with Richard and Ride2Raise and can’t wait to plan another ride for next year. A huge thanks to the Ride2Raise team, they were AWESOME.

Ride2Raise’s invaluable advice, proactive approach, useful contacts, unfailing support and endless patience throughout the planning stage has been a life-saver! I can confidently say that working with them was the key difference in turning our idea of a group-wide UK cycle ride into a reality.

The Missing People Cycle Challenge was a huge success. The route Ride2Raise planned for us was incredible, taking in some epic climbs and beautiful descents. We passed through some really lovely villages and stayed in some great hotels. Nothing was too much trouble, and the support each rider received was above and beyond. I would highly recommend working with Ride2Raise, they are efficient, professional and know how to add the personal touch to make every ride special.

Ride2Raise really looked after our fundraisers and made sure they had the best experience possible – they all came back buzzing. I didn’t have to worry at all during the whole weekend and with regular Twitter updates, photos and even texts, I knew exactly how it was all going. If you want peace of mind for your fundraisers, you can trust Ride2Raise – plus their trips are challenging enough to warrant lots of sponsorship, though not so unrealistic as to put off more amateur cyclists.

Richard King and his Ride2Raise team have organised two South Coast Spectacular Challenge rides for the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust. We have found the whole experience to be first class. Richard and his team have provided excellent service in all aspects of the event. The feedback I have received from the cyclists is that the ride, accommodation and organisation meets if not exceeds their expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Ride2Raise to any other charity.
