GPX files and maps will be made available to all riders.

The Ufton Cycle Sportive is a charity cycle ride which aims to raise money for the disadvantaged children who visit Ufton Adventure. We desperately need a new woodland teaching space, particularly in the evenings and during wet weather. Costing £790,000, we have planning permission to build a Viking Longhouse in our woodlands.

The top fundraisers will win one of our fantastic prizes.

You can either be in the running to win one of our prizes by setting up your own fundraiser page, or send the link to our MyDonate event page to your friends and family so that they can donate directly to the event.

As a charity cycle ride, we are hugely grateful for the companies and organisations that sponsor the event, allowing us to raise more money for the disadvantaged young people that visit us. Therefore to see how you can get involved, download our Ufton Cycle Sportive Sponsorship brochure.

We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, all of which will be vital for the smooth running of the ride! Roles include:

• Promoting the event locally
• Set up duties
• Marshalling
• Registration
• Serving refreshments

… Plus many more! If you’d like to sign up as a volunteer, or have a skill (such as photography or performing) that you would like to offer us for the day, then please email fundraisingevents@uftoncourt.co.uk
