There’s something special about cycling through London after dark.
On Saturday 8 May 2027, thousands of riders will come together for an unforgettable night in London.
As the city lights up and the roads grow quieter, you’ll cycle past some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks alongside a community united by a common cause: supporting people affected by women’s cancers.
Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or looking for a challenge to train towards, Ride the Night is built for real people. With training support, expert event management and encouragement from fellow riders every step of the way, you’ll have everything you need to get to the finish line.
Since its first event, this incredible community has raised more than £22 million for life-saving research and care.
When London sleeps, we ride
As the sun sets on Saturday 8 May 2027, the Ride the Night community comes together for an evening unlike any other.
From 5pm the Event Village is filled with music, colour and anticipation as thousands of riders prepare to take on the challenge ahead. Then, from 9pm, the streets become yours.
Choose from a 50km or 100km route and experience London after dark, passing famous landmarks, crossing iconic bridges and sharing the journey with riders from across the country.

Choose your ride
Whether you’re taking on 50km or 100km, you’ll experience London in a way few people ever do.
Both routes begin in Windsor and take you through some of the capital’s most iconic locations after dark. Ride through Richmond Park, follow the Thames into the city and cycle past world-famous landmarks illuminated against the night sky.
50km Route
Perfect for first-time challenge cyclists or those looking for a shorter distance, the 50km route takes you from Windsor into central London. You’ll finish in the heart of the capital after crossing Westminster Bridge and passing some of London’s most recognisable sights.
100km Route
Looking for a bigger challenge? The 100km route continues beyond central London, taking in even more of the city’s famous landmarks before looping back to Windsor to complete an unforgettable night in the saddle.
Whichever route you choose, you’ll be supported every mile of the way by marshals, Ride Angels, mechanics, medics and feed stations.
