How does The Inside Ride work?

The Inside Ride is an organized stationary cycling challenge that we bring to you, which is set up indoors or outdoors. Thirty, state of the art racing bikes, are mounted and held stationary on trainers, with mileage and speed gauged with odometers. Each cyclist rides for ten minutes to heart-pounding, uplifting music as cyclists rotate through the event, cheered on by teammates, friends, colleagues and spectators. Volunteers record rider mileage which is visually displayed throughout the event – creating momentum and camaraderie between the teams!

Each organization will raise money through pledging rider teams, or companies may hire The Inside Ride and treat their employees to a team-building challenge.

Participants will find The Inside Ride tool kit contains all the details, forms and information to distribute amongst colleagues and friends, to make hosting the event easy! Post event awards are given to recognize outstanding team fundraising, team spirit and individual male and female achievements.

Step One: We Present to your Organization

Members of The Inside Ride crew provide your workplace, school or community group with a 30 minute presentation on the Inside Ride programme. Participants will learn about the impact their participation will have on the lives of families and children with cancer and why your help is needed.

Step Two: Register Your Organization

Start immediately by inviting participants to register as team captains, riders and volunteers.

Step Three: You Fundraise

The money you raise will go towards supporting where the needs are greatest and include, funding of oncology camps, community support programmes, academic scholarships and other areas which contribute to inspiring hope and improving prognoses for children and their families impacted by cancer.

Step Four: Your Ride

Participants and spectators gather in your workplace foyer, gymnasium, outdoor or outdoor patio on the designated date and time as we kick off The Inside Ride cycling challenge – 6 riders per team, 10 minutes of cycling per rider – what distance will your team achieve?

Step Five: You are Rewarded

Many chances for team and individual rewards including:

  • The team with the highest combined mileage
  • The male and female with the highest individual mileage
  • The team with the most team spirit
  • The team that raises the most money
