We are asking all cyclists to commit to raising £500 towards the target. We will help you to get there through our online fundraising platform for this event.

The funds raised from this event are for the UK/EU Bursary Fund, which aims to give academically gifted but financially disadvantaged students the opportunity to pursue success at our institution and reach their full potential. The total target of £20 000 will provide at least three students with a full bursary that covers tuition, housing, food and textbooks. 

Join a team now. You do not need to be a Matie to be part of a team – invite your friends, family and colleagues to cycle for this great cause.

Don’t worry if you are not a cyclist, you can get in on the inter-team competition and help your favourite team by donating here:
