Story

We are raising funds for BHT's First Base Day Centre, which provides a range of support including food, health services, showers and laundry facilities for people who are rough sleeping in the city.  

This year BHT has teamed up with The Living Coast to create the Greater Brighton Cycling Challenge, comprising three exciting cycling experiences: 

The BHT Around the World Cycle Challenge 2018, a family friendly event taking place the Preston Park Velodrome, the oldest in the country.This extraordinary challenge starts at 7am and runs throughout the day, with cyclists aiming to reach the combined target of 69,215 laps (equating to cycling 40,075km around the world) in just 12 hours!Laps can be completed in one session or over a number of sessions throughout the day and there are designated slots for families and club cyclists.  

The Living Coast Rides comprise of the 'Classic' and the 'Devil’s Dyke Loop'. These are more of a physical challenge, with rides of 30 and 58 miles through the world-class environment on our doorstep, recognised by UNESCO as a World Biosphere Region. The route of the Classic ride (58 miles) is very similar to last year Brighton Mayor’s ride. The Devil’s Dyke Loop ride heads over to Hangleton to take the Dyke Trail up to Devil’s Dyke before going down to Poynings and Fulking and joining the longer (Classic ride) near Woodmancote.  

We’d love you to join us one of the rides, but if you can't, please sponsor one of the wonderful people who are helping us to change lives and save lives. Donate here or TEXT GBCC18 followed by £3, £5 or £10 to 70070 (or an amount of your choice - just remember to put a £ sign in front of the amount) to make a donation by text and help us to make a difference today. Thank you very much.
