  • "Cycle4Good are amazing, they provide superbly organised trips with a brilliant team spirit and friendly atmosphere. The support before, during and after the ride is second to none, allowing you to fully enjoy the rides stress-free."

    Normandy 2024

  • "C4G has nailed the charity bike ride! The team’s organisation, safety, route planning and support for all riders is second to none; from delicious picnics/snacks to booked meals where it’s great to get to know fellow riders and feel part of the team raising money for a great cause."

About Us

FOUNDING PRINCIPLES

Cycle4Good was born from a group of folks who participated in a number of events supporting childrens' charities. Although we organize and promote cycling events independently of any one charity, all our efforts are focused on raising funds for (and awareness of) some great organizations.

Cycle4Good is a non-profit organization — all of our staff are volunteers and no-one is paid anything for the work they do. 100% of the money you raise goes directly to charity! And any entrance fees go towards covering the costs of the rides — if there is any surplus after an event, we donate that to one of our selected charities.

GROUP DYNAMICS

We're all about completing challenges as a group!

A typical ride consists of folks from all walks of life, from the young'uns in their early twenties through to the more (ahem) mature riders. None of our challenges are a race, and we take pride in the entire group finishing the ride. We are proud to offer pre-event guidance as well as providing a supportive ride dynamic that ensures we all cross the finishing line. The post-event celebrations and beer taste all the better for that!

GOOD CAUSES

We're all about supporting charities!

Of course we all love cycling, otherwise we wouldn't have founded Cycle4Good. However, there's a more important thing that we're committed to — promoting, supporting, and raising funds for charity.

EVENT ORGANIZATION

We're all about organizing the most fun rides!

We have a very simple principle that we apply to our rides — we ask ourselves whether WE would like to be riders. And that's because we actually DO ride with you. Just like the typical groups on any one ride, we are characterized by having a very wide range of abilities, fitness, and tolerance to discomfort. In other words, if we are planning an event that we wouldn't personally like to take part in, then we'd be doing something wrong!

WHO WE ARE

Cycle4Good is run by the following folks, all of whom give their valuable time, insights and resources for free in the pursuit of 'cycling for good!'

  • Chris Blackham
    Chairman, and generally a bionic man. He's made of 80% carbon fibre and 20% titanium. Also been known to buy beers.
  • Wendy Blackham
    In the words of Homer (the Greek, not the American), Wendy is a true 'tamer of horses'. And the way she climbs hills makes us suspect she has invisible Pegasus wings.
  • Will Blackham
    Ride lead, route master and logistics guru par excellence. Like a cycle psychic, he sees things before they happen.
  • Jane Adams
    Events manager.
  • Nick James
    Aka 'Doctor Nick'. If you need him he'll be there. Medical maestro and excels at getting a 4x4 into the most innaccessible places in Europe.
  • Chris Milam
    Company secretary and finance extraordinaire. He's our rock. You can count on him both as a ride buddy and as the keeper of the kitty!
  • Ben Tate
    Ride lead, media expert and repairman with the soul of a true artist. If his surname wasn't already Tate, he'd have changed it by deed poll to 'Le Louvre'.
  • Sam Tate
    Cycling aficionado and bike mechanics genius. He's all about the marginal gains! And like a Texas Ranger, he'll never leave a rider behind.
  • Mark Tempest
    Route planner and statistics expert. He knows all the gradients and, like the Tempest he is, all the windspeeds.


  • "As always Cycle4Good gives their riders a unique, safe and fun experience. The route and support organization is superb and gives riders a sense of their own responsibility alongside being supported by an excellent crew. Any anxieties disappear at the start of the ride. Such thought goes into the meticulous planning to provide great riding, comfy beds and perfect coffee and lunch stops. Thank you team!"

    Normandy 2024

  • "I have taken part in two C4G trips now and I’m looking forward to the next! My favourite was the Normandy beaches where we cycled from Le Harve to St Malo. Not just the thrill and fun of the ride but the history and scenery were amazing! The trips have been seamless, amazing picnic lunches, welcoming end of day dinners and great hotels to rest our tired legs!"

  • "I’d say that it was an experience of a lifetime! The C4G team do a superb job at organising everything on these rides to the smallest detail and the meticulous planning shows every time. I’m not sure that I’d want to do a ride with any other organisation."

About Our Cycling Events

We've been all over the world and have routes and rides to suit everyone.

  • UK

    Our UK rides are usually one or two days duration. Perfect for a weekend warrior, the basic idea is to see somewhere nice, cover a few miles, visit a pub (or two), and generally get a break from your normal life.

    Past rides

     Isle of Wight 2017
     London to Oxford, 2016
     The Cotswold Century, 2016
     The Cotswold Century, 2015
     Olympic Park to Harwich, 2015
     The Cotswold Century, 2014

  • Europe

    Our European rides are usually between two and four days duration. Normally more challenging than our UK rides, the basic idea is to have an adventure, see some really great European sites, and bond with up to 50 riders.

    Past rides

     Normandy 2024
     Milton Keynes to Amsterdam 2023
     London to Paris 2019 (for Aspire)

     London to Paris, 2013

  • World

    For many of us (and our riders) the World rides are the highlight of the year! Typically, each event consists of five or six days cycling with a couple of travel days — whenever possible including a visit and often supporting a local charity or school.

    Past rides

     Kerala, 2018
     Nicaragua to Costa Rica, 2016
     Vietnam to Cambodia, 2014

  • "This was one of the best experiences of my life. I felt I got a lot of support from all of the team and I got on well with everybody. I would do another ride like this in a heart beat! This was very well organised and the routes and stops planned were fantastic. Thank you so much for the experience :)"

  • "Cycle4Good's events are amongst the best cycling events that I've taken part in. Cycle4Good puts in an incredible amount of hard work to organise and then run the events. From a value for money perspective, the events are great, and raise a significant amount of well needed money for charity."
