Toby Cycle Challenge 2025 – Riding for a Cause That Matters

This year, the usual crew is back in the saddle for another unforgettable adventure. Once again, we’ll be heading to Whitehaven, turning our wheels east, and making the long journey back to Tynemouth via Carlisle and Bellingham along the rugged and beautiful Reivers Route.

I was meant to be the support van driver this year but with 1 day to go I found out one of the crew is injured. So I'm now cycling too, not been on a bike for 3 months! So this will be a massive challenge!

It’s not just about the miles (though there will be plenty of those!) — it’s about making every pedal stroke count for a cause that’s close to our hearts. Each year, we take on this challenge to raise as much as we possibly can for a fantastic charity, and 2025 is no different.

The route will take us through rolling countryside, steep climbs, and sweeping descents, testing our legs, lungs, and determination. But knowing the difference your donations make will keep us pushing forward, no matter how tough the road gets.

Your support means the world to us — and more importantly, it means vital help reaches those who need it most. Whether it’s a few pounds or a generous pledge, every contribution fuels our ride and the cause we’re riding for.

Let’s make this year’s Toby Cycle Challenge our biggest success yet.

Please donate, share, and cheer us on — together, we can go the distance!
