REGISTRATION NOW OPEN....

4 countries, 3 days, 2 wheels, 1 cause…

Are you up for a challenge this autumn to help raise money for Cardboard Citizens?

Join us for an epic 245 mile cycling adventure taking in four countries on your way: England, France, Belgium & the Netherlands. From the rolling hills of England to the North Sea coastal route, we will be cycling through medieval towns in Belgium and across the vast waterways of the Dutch lowlands, before finishing in Amsterdam, the cycling capital of the world!

When? 3rd – 6th September 2011

Why? Raise money for Cardboard Citizens, meet new people & challenge yourself. The bike ride is open to cyclists of all abilities and ages. We'll provide guidance on training and nutrition to get you fit in time for September.

You will be expertly guided by our friends from Bikeworks a social enterprise who also work with homeless people in East London, training them to become bicycle mechanics and guides: that way, 100% of the money you raise will go towards organisations battling homelessness.

Last September, twenty of us cycled from London to Paris raising over £30,000 for Cardboard Citizens.


About Cardboard Citizens: Cardboard Citizens changes the lives of homeless people through theatre and the performing arts. As the UK's only professional homeless people's theatre company, we provide marginalized people with new skills and confidence, social support and guidance, and a wide range of creative outlets.


"Beautiful countryside, amazing people, and saddle sore: the best three days of my year."
