Bike the UK for MS

Whether riding from King Alfred’s Way, from Land’s End to John O’Groats, around the North Coast 500 or from Coast to Coast, Bike the UK for MS has all your MS bike rides covered. This is your opportunity to challenge yourself, meet new friends and raise money to help stop MS.

The Bike the UK for MS team are inspired individuals of all backgrounds, ages and cycling abilities. The riders come together for a common purpose. They volunteer their time to raise funds and awareness for MS research and help positively impact the lives of people living with MS.

Why not spend a long weekend riding the UK’s most popular cycling challenge route, the Coast to Coast from Whitehaven to Tynemouth over three days?

Indulge yourself on the North Coast 500 cycle route, the ultimate coastal scenic challenge of Northern Scotland with the option for a hotel’s Scottish Highlands express route or an 8 day anti-clockwise adventure. Ride the length of Wales over four days on the Lôn Las Cymru route. Take adventure off-road with our new King Alfred’s Way loop or Coast to Coast off-road option.

Or step it up and take on the infamous Land’s End to John O’Groats cycle route - two spectacular weeks taking you the length of Great Britain. Soak up the diverse beauty from your saddle on LEJOG.
