Pedalling To Pubs 2025, 5 June 2025
Pedalling to Pubs 2025 is a charity cycle ride set against the backdrop of the Lake District's landscapes, aimed at raising funds and awareness for two important charities: The Licensed Trade Charity and Only a Pavement Away.

Story

Pedalling to Pubs 2025 brings together industry leaders from across the hospitality industry.

As they travel through the breath taking landscapes, the cyclists also embrace the opportunity to raise vital funds for the Licensed Trade Charity and Only a Pavement Away.

Both charities work tirelessly to provide support, assistance, and opportunities to vulnerable individuals within the hospitality industry, including those facing poverty, homelessness, and other challenges.

What the official blurb above doesn't tell you though is how hard and yet how much fun this challenge is....

We will cycle for days through some very challenging landscape, with much Haribo and disco tunes to keep going! every penny you can give genuinely will make a difference to someone's life in the most profound way. So please spare me the cost of a coffee or a pint and help us to make a difference to someone's life - getting them back on their feet again and back to fighting fit!

PS Some of us are also doing a warm up event - just a small one lol - we are cycling around Loch Ness......

PPS Its true we might have a pint or two on our way around......
