Hi, I'm Tristan, and at the time of writing (a week or so after I was offered a spot in Hospitality Rides 2026) I don't own a bike. I haven't owned or ridden a bike for around 20 years.

With this crucial piece of information in mind, I hope you'll appreciate what a task I have set myself in joining a 30-strong group of riders who are cycling over 400km across Vietnam in April.

I've also joined the party fairly late, meaning lots or training and fundraising to catch up on. But I'm fully committed and ready to get going with raising vital money for The Licensed Trade Charity and Only A Pavement Away.

Hospitality Rides

Hospitality Rides 2026 brings together industry leaders from across the hospitality industry.

As they navigate through this awe-inspiring expedition, the cyclists also embrace the opportunity to raise vital funds for The Licensed Trade Charity and Only a Pavement Away.

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