They’ll be stopping off at Shooting Star Children’s Hospice in Hampton for refreshments and carols led by members of the Epsom & Ewell Silver Band, before continuing on to the grand finish and free after party at the Turks Head pub in Twickenham.
What began as a ride of 20 cycling friends, has grown in to an annual festive tradition with over 200 Santas taking part, many returning year after year.
To date the Santa Cycle has raised more than £60,000 and delivered almost 8,000 gifts to the hospice. This year, they are aiming to make the ride the biggest yet as they push towards their overall £100,000 fundraising goal.
The social, 15.5km, fully guided ride is open to experienced cyclists, beginners and families (children aged 12+).
It’s free for everyone to enter, all they ask is that riders decorate their bikes, dress as Santa, and take a gift.
