Our 28th Ride for Ryder annual cycling event has taken on a new feel with different routes for 2016, perfect if you’re looking for a wonderful leisurely day out or a serious challenge. 

Supported by British Cycling our new Sportive offers a fun, non-competitive event for all with signed routes taking you through Gloucestershire's glorious countryside. Whichever route you choose you can also be sure that you’re supporting your only inpatient hospice in Gloucestershire!

With all proceeds going to Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice to help provide incredible care for people living with life-limiting conditions across Gloucestershire why not sign up with friends, family or colleagues and make it a ride to remember!
