Arc Leisure Centre in Matlock is taking on the challenge with a two-part event, combining a cake sale and a bike ride with an ambitious goal: to cover 1,000 miles on static bikes! Guests are welcome to come along, grab a delicious treat, and cheer on the riders as they pedal towards their target. All proceeds will go directly to Children in Need.

Meanwhile, Ashbourne Leisure Centre will be hosting a 12-hour bike ride, running continuously from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. Staff and participants will be donning their finest fancy dress costumes as they cycle for charity, adding a splash of fun and colour to the day. We encourage everyone to join the festivities, sponsor a rider, or simply stop by to support.

Every donation, large or small, makes a meaningful impact. These events are designed for people of all ages and fitness levels to get involved, whether by hopping on a bike, enjoying some cake, or cheering from the side-lines.

For more information on how you can participate or donate, please contact Arc or Ashbourne Leisure Centres directly:
