Manchester to London Challenge

220 miles. One day. One Cause.

Your most demanding ride of the year awaits. Join Rapha founder Simon Mottram for an extraordinary test of physical and mental endurance, raising vital funds for Ambitious about Autism along the way. 

I can't recommend this event enough; it's a fantastic way to make a difference while having an unforgettable time on the bike. The journey is challenging, yet entirely achievable, and the best part of the ride is the amazing people you'll encounter. 
From fellow riders sharing the road to dedicated volunteers at water stations who go 
above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need; you have food and your bottle waters are always filled. And, after a long day on the saddle, arriving at Rapha HQ to cheers from friends and family is a celebration you won't want to miss! My favourite part of the rides was cycling through the Peak District, stunning!

About our charity

Our journey started in 1997 when a group of parents set up TreeHouse School. At a time when autistic children faced little or no chance of receiving a full and rewarding education, these parents were determined to change this for their children.

This pioneering approach has evolved over time as we’ve adapted and grown as an organisation. What started with four pupils has grown to become a charity that has supported thousands of autistic children and young people. Today we run schools and a college that focus on improving the quality of life of learners to enable them to learn, thrive and achieve.
