The uk's biggest women-only midnight cycle

Join hundreds of amazing women as we take over London’s streets for one incredible night. Ride the Night is more than just a cycling challenge – it’s a powerful statement of solidarity with everyone affected by breast and ovarian cancer.

As the city sleeps, you’ll cycle past London’s most iconic landmarks, all illuminated against the night sky. From Tower Bridge to Buckingham Palace, from the London Eye to St Paul’s Cathedral, you’ll see the capital in a completely new light.
