London to Bruges cycle challenge

Ready to take on a fundraising challenge to help us support intensive care?

Are you ready to take on an extraordinary challenge and make a difference for The Intensive Care Society? Join a committed team of 20 passionate riders to embark on a stunning 4-day cycling journey from London to Bruges—Europe’s "Venice of the North." This unique ride will help us to raise essential funds to provide support to intensive care professionals across the UK as they care for the sickest of patients in hospital. 

 

The route

Cycle from London to Harwich, followed by a ferry crossing to the Hook of Holland. From there, journey through the breathtaking, bike-friendly Low Countries, crossing the marvellously engineered sea barrages and islands of Dutch Zeeland. Cruise into Bruges on quiet, scenic paths alongside beautiful canals and cobblestone streets in one of Europe’s most charming medieval cities.

Ride from London to the canals and cobbled streets of Bruges, one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities and the ‘Venice of the North.’ A wonderful cycling experience through the bike-friendly Low Countries. 

 

Why join? 

  • Unforgettable Route: A meticulously planned ride through historic towns, stunning landscapes, and iconic engineering landmarks. 

  • Meet new people: During the highs and lows of this ride, the breakfast and drinks the night before, it’s a great way to meet new people in your community.
