Our Charity Rides
We regularly organise Charity Rides to raise money for the Air Ambulance during the summer months. We started them just after lockdown was lifted and they’ve been hugely popular by our members.
This years rides are:
- Saturday 19th July ‘25
at the Chestnut Tree Cafe, Bobbington
A ride around Halfpenny Green Common.
6.5 miles, possibly some canter work depending on the ground. To be there for 10.30am, set off 11.00am. Food coffee and snacks available after in the cafe.
- Wednesday 23rd July ‘25
at Sugarloaf Stables.
A 10mile ride with canter work. Be there 10.30am to set off at 11.00am. We will ride round Blakedown towards Bissell Wood, mainly off road. No snacks available bring your own.
Minimum payment £3 members only.

As you know the Air Ambulance relies on donations and it’s a charity we never know if we might need to use!
Some of our rides have been at locations like Wenlock Edge, Wyre Forest, Cannock Chase & Kinver Edge. Sometimes it’s nice to just go for a ride somewhere new with friends and then enjoy a coffee (sometimes cider!) and cake back at the lorries afterwards.
This is a regular activity in the club through the summer months, and also a great way for new members to meet the rest of us and raise money for a great charity at the same time.
