Bike 'n Hike 14 September 2024

This year our challenge is to break the £100,000 barrier! Half the sponsor money goes to the church named by the person who takes part, and the rest (plus Gift Aid) to the Trust.

Bike 'n Hike is a fun day out where you get sponsored to visit beautiful historic churches by cycling, walking, or any mode of transport on a route of your choice. Many churches host afternoon teas or heritage events and you should receive a warm welcome and often refreshments.

Wanted -Area Organisers

Area Organisers liaise with churches and chapels in their area, that take part in Bike 'n Hike. 

AOs meet three times a year - it's not too time-consuming and is very rewarding. We need help in Rickmansworth, Hemel Hempstead. See Area Organiser or E: [email protected]

Some tips for cyclists and walkers.....

Be Safe!
  • Make sure your bike is in good repair
  • Wear high visibility clothing and a safety helmet
  • Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic
  • Drink plenty of water - carry some with you
  • Be aware of weather and take extra care if it's hot with rest breaks and plenty of fluids
  • Parents - accompany your children unless you are confident they are experienced/old enough

Cyclists, obey the highway code—it is safer that way!
