What is ?

Ride25 is a 25-year ride from London to Sydney, one leg a year. It's not just about the amazing cycling though… we focus on the camaraderie, delicious food, stunning landscapes and joint experience of the challenge of a lifetime. With our amazing hospitality, support and planning, we do everything to make sure all you have to worry about is which way to pedal!

We currently have two groups — The Pioneers, who will complete Leg 15 in November 2026, and the Founders, who will complete Leg 5 in October 2026. In 2026 we have 225 people participating across the two groups.

Chris Evans explains the whole idea in two minutes.

The journey so far

London to Sydney, leg by leg. The orange line is the road we have already ridden; the dotted green line is still to come.

Charities

£2,054,000 raised, and counting

Ride25 is run as a not-for-profit and exists to raise money for good causes. All the riders cover all their own costs, so every penny raised goes straight to good causes.

The badges

Every time you finish a leg you are rewarded with a badge that will be printed on your shirt the following year.

Want to start a third wave?

Are you a well-connected person, team or organisation that wants to start a third 25-year journey? We are looking for the right leaders to start again from London. Ride25 will do all the heavy lifting — you just need to recruit and lead the rides, following in the tracks of the Pioneers and the Founders.
