Get Ready for an Incredible Day of Cycling, Community, and Celebration!

The Welland Valley Cycling Club (WVCC) is thrilled to host the 11th Annual Macmillan Charity Ride, supported by an incredible team of volunteers. Our mission is simple: bring people together through cycling while raising vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, and donating a portion of the proceeds to Thomas’s Fund, a cause close to the hearts of many WVCC members. It’s all happening on Sat 13th June.

New for This Year: 2 New Longer-Distance Road Routes!

For our 11th edition, we’re excited to introduce two brand-new longer-distance road routes, perfect for riders looking to go further and challenge themselves.

80km and 125km Road Routes (GPS only): Designed for riders of all abilities who want to explore longer distances and enjoy beautiful countryside riding.

Two cracking gravel routes, and family gravel route!

70km and 100km Gravel Route (GPS only): A more adventurous option with challenging trails for those who love gravel and off-road riding.

20km Family Friendly Gravel Route (GPS only): Cycling is for everyone! Our specially designed off-road family route makes it easy and enjoyable for younger riders to join the fun. Even better — children under 15 ride for free! 

Ride Your Way – Fun for All Abilities

This is a non-competitive event, so you set the pace:

  • Push your limits and tackle the longer routes.
  • Or enjoy a relaxed ride, soak up the scenery, and ride with friends and family.

All routes start and finish at Grange Farm, Thorpe Langton, home of the fantastic Langton Brewery.

 What’s Waiting for You?

  • Free pre-ride refreshments to get you started
  • On-course refreshments at Whissendine Village Hall
  • Barbecue and live music back at Grange Farm to celebrate your ride

It’s the perfect way to finish a great day on the bike.

 Friendly & Safe

  • Children under 15 ride for free
  • Medical support available throughout the event
  • Consent forms required for under-18s

Make a Difference While Having Fun

This is more than just a bike ride—it’s a chance to support two amazing causes, connect with your community, and enjoy a fantastic day out.

Don’t miss out! Check out all the details and join us for a day of cycling, celebration, and community spirit. Whether you’re here for the new longer routes, the barbecue, or the live music, we can’t wait to see you on the start line!
