Ride to Remembrance 2025

96 hours | 05–09 November | In aid of The Royal British Legion

Last year, our village came together for the first Ride to Remembrance: a 72-hour continuous relay on a single Zwift bike set up here at The Cricketers Inn. Dozens of riders took turns through the day and night while the pub cheered them on and together we raised £3,500 for The Royal British Legion. The generosity, the camaraderie and the stories shared around the village in the weeks following were fantastic and we have been asked countless times if we can do it again…

…so guess what?? We’re back!! — with even more ambition!

This year we are extending the challenge to 96 hours. From 10:30 on Wednesday 5 November right through to 10:30 on Remembrance Sunday, our goal is simple: keep the wheels turning in a continuous relay and raise even more for the Poppy Appeal.

At 10:30 on Remembrance Sunday when the wheels stop spinning, we invite those who can join us for the final ride to walk together to our local church to observe the two-minute silence in memory of those who have served.

Donations

We are introducing dynamic donations this year. While we are forever grateful for everyone’s efforts in jumping on and off the bike, the core purpose is to raise money for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. With this in mind we appreciate that the night shifts can we tough so the minimum donation to cycle is lower for the twilight hours but slightly more if you want to take all the glory and cycle during peak pub hours!

For cycles between 9am - 8:30pm - £12
For cycles between 9pm - 8:00am - £8

Business Sponsorship

We’re inviting local businesses to become proud supporters of Ride to Remembrance. As a sponsor, your brand will feature prominently throughout the pub. Highlight your brand to our customers with on screen graphic throughout the pub, social and media coverage in the build-up and subsequent festive period. Our team will also tell your story to guests, sharing your details and offers and making introductions where helpful. It’s a simple, high-impact way to stand with the community, raise more for the Poppy Appeal, and be seen by our locals at our busiest time of year.
