Event details

Saddle up for The London to Brighton Bike Ride 2025 with the MS Trust.

It starts in Clapham Common, South London, and ends on Brighton Beachfront, where you'll receive a hero's welcome. The 54-mile route is mostly on closed, traffic-free, tarmac roads.

The London to Brighton Bike Ride is on Sunday 15 June 2025 - a great way to celebrate Father's Day. You'll set off in waves every half an hour from 6am to 9.30am. 

This event is beginner friendly. From first-time riders to cycling pros, we encourage everyone to get involved and we'll help you to prepare. With no cut-off times, you can ride at your own pace. There will also be ride pacers to help you on the event day.

Highlights

  • Five checkpoints for refreshment, refuelling, regrouping with other riders and mechanical/medical assistance.
  • No cut-off times - ride at your own pace or follow one of the designated ride pacers who will be there on the day.
  • Free feminine hygiene products at all checkpoints.
  • A custom 2025 medal upon finishing!
  • A friendly team to support you with fundraising tips and ideas!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an age limit for this event?

You need to be at least 14 years old to take part in this event. Under 18s must be accompanied by a registered adult. 

When will I find out my start time?

Typically, start waves of 1500 people leave every 30 mins from 6.00am to 9.30am. Start times will be sent out by the event organiser from the 19 May 2025. If you have not received your start time by the 26 May 2025, please contact us. 

Can I change my time?

Your start time will be allocated to you based on the answers that you provide to the event organisers about your cycling ability and estimated finish time. Once these are allocated, they unfortunately cannot be changed. There are several checkpoints along the route where you will be more than welcome to regroup and meet with others. 

When will my rider number arrive?

Your rider pack and number should arrive in the post between 19 May and the 11 June 2025. 

Will mechanical support be available if there is something wrong with my bike?

Yes – there will be several mechanic stations throughout the route, including the start and at each checkpoint. Mechanics have a number of spares and will aim to fix a malfunction free of charge but may need to charge for certain parts. If you encounter an issue (excluding punctures) while on the road and are unable to make it to a checkpoint, there will be an event control number included in your rider’s pack which you can call to request assistance. Small issues like punctures will need to be repaired by the rider. 

What types of bike are permitted on the ride?

There are a number of bike types permitted at this event – if you are unsure as to whether you will be able to use your bike, please email us to check. 

What if I don’t reach my fundraising target?

You will have until six weeks after the event to reach the full amount. It may however, be possible for us to extend this in some circumstances.

What support will I receive from the MS Trust?

The friendly team at the MS Trust is here for you every step of the way - we’re here to offer general support, guidance for fundraising and training advice.
