THE 2012 RIDE

RIGHT TO PLAY IS THE LEADING INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN AND DEVELOPMENT ORGANISATION USING THE POWER OF SPORT AND PLAY TO BUILD ESSENTIAL SKILLS IN CHILDREN AND DRIVE SOCIAL CHANGE IN COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY WAR, POVERTY AND DISEASE.

With such a strong belief in Sport for Development it’s not surprising that Right To Play is a charity synonymous with unique and spectacular cycle tours. The 2012 Ride is the fourth annual bike ride and will see a group of cyclists arriving in Liege, Belgium to watch the prologue stage of the Tour de France, and then cycling 300 miles to arrive in London three days later at the Right To Play 2012 venue next to the Olympic Park. Or for those who are more adventurous – extend day three to include iconic Box Hill on your way into London.

We take care of all the arrangements so that all you have to focus on is the cycling and having a great time. With the option of adding on the Box Hill stage on day three this ride accommodates for different levels of riders, so if you’re a veteran or only just started cycling this ride for you.
