Choose your distance depending on your cycling ability and whether you think you will be able to complete the challenge. If you are an elite or very keen cyclist why not try an epic 850 km/miles in 85 days. But if you are more of a causal rider then chose 85 km/miles in July. If you think completing the distance in July is too difficult, why not spread it out over 85 days?

You can complete your distance any way and any time you like as long as you begin the challenge in July. Whether going for a long ride on a weekend or short rides everyday through the week, it will all count towards your target.

Use a fitness track app or Fitbit to record your miles. Join the Strava Club and be proud as punch as you watch your distance increase with every ride out.

The best way to fundraise is by setting up an online page either a Facebook Fundraiser or on Just Giving.

You can personalise your page, add photos, talk about what you're doing and why, set a fundraising target and then send your page link to your friends, family and colleagues so that they can sponsor you easily and securely.

All money donated online is received directly into our bank account which means you do not have to spend time collecting in any money raised.

If you are having issues setting up your online fundraising page, please call our Supporter Care Team on 0300 303 1100

Our policy, like that of many other charities, is that Gift Aid is not included in sponsorship targets.

Raffles can be a great way of raising some additional money for your challenge. However, there are some strict rules governing how they can be run.

The simplest way to hold a raffle within the rules is to hold it alongside another event; a pub quiz for example. You will need to sell the tickets during your event, and the raffle has to be drawn and prizes given out on the same night. If you do a raffle this way, you won't need a licence.

If you want to hold a raffle on its own, you will need a specific licence so please get in touch with: [email protected]

Yes absolutely, if there are two or more of you doing an event, then you can get together to raise your money.  Just remember that sponsorship targets are per person.

If you are going to fundraise with a friend or as a team all we ask is that you let us know as soon as you can. Please contact [email protected]
