Samaritans Cycle is a prominent cycling club and cycling park located in High Wycombe, offering exhilarating cycling experiences and promoting a charitable cause. Founded in 2017, the club has become renowned for its annual sportive event, which takes place in the picturesque Chiltern hills. All proceeds from the event go towards supporting the Chiltern Samaritans, a local charity organisation.
The Samaritans Cycle Sportive is highly regarded among club riders, social riders, and those looking to raise funds for a worthy cause. Taking place on Saturday, 22 June 2024, the sportive event offers participants the opportunity to ride through the stunning Chiltern hills, which form part of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near London. Cyclists can choose from three different routes: the 40 km route, the 80 km route, or the challenging 130 km route. Additionally, eBikes are welcome at the event.
The sportive event is known for its exceptional value, as registration fees are refunded for participants who raise 200 in sponsorship for the Chiltern Samaritans. To enhance the experience, all riders completing any of the three routes are rewarded with a complimentary glass of local ale and a burger at the finish line. Throughout the routes, cyclists can also enjoy frequent feed stations to refuel and the breathtaking scenery of the Chiltern hills.
Route navigation during the sportive is made easy with the use of extensive signage. Arrow signs and warning signs are strategically placed at all junctions, ensuring cyclists stay on the right track and enhancing safety on the road. For detailed information about the routes, participants can easily access them through the provided links on the official Samaritans Cycle website.
The Samaritans Cycle Sportive has seen tremendous support from sponsors, enabling the event to raise over 80,000 to date. The club extends its gratitude to the sponsors for their generosity and invites others to get involved in supporting this noble cause. Individuals and businesses alike have the opportunity to become a sponsor, contributing to the success of the event and the vital work of the Chiltern Samaritans.
Moreover, the Samaritans Cycle is always looking for volunteers and helpers to assist in organising and running the sportive event. Individuals who are passionate about cycling, charitable causes, or event management can contribute their skills and time to make a meaningful difference.
