This is the 46th year of the Great Dorset Bike Ride event and Tony's third year of organising it. The event is totally free and unsupported but we request participants to make a charitable donation through this site. This year we have selected the British Red Cross. as the beneficiary.

Whether it’s in the UK or abroad in Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan and Ukraine, it feels like the British Red Cross has never been needed more.

Through conflict, flooding or food shortages and fires, families and communities are facing unimaginable hardship.

No matter how difficult or dangerous things get, the British Red Cross is ready to face these challenges, bringing comfort and aid when all hope and humanity feels lost.
