Pedalling To Pubs is an annual sponsored bike ride which raises vital funds for hospitality charities the Licensed Trade Charity (LTC) and Only A Pavement Away. Now at rider capacity, this year’s challenge will see 60 hospitality professionals ride from Penrith to Carlisle and back between 5th and 7th June.
Currently in its third year, Pedalling To Pubs 2025 is striving to exceed last year’s incredible fundraising achievement of more than £85,000 for the charities. This year’s headline sponsor is Polaris Elements, with the ride also supported by partners BII and Thatchers Cider.
“Pedalling To Pubs has quickly become a standout event in the hospitality calendar, and it’s fantastic to see it return bigger and better than ever for its third year,” said Steve Alton, lead rider, and chief executive of the BII.
“Along with the rest of the riders, I’ve been training hard to take on the 220km Lake District route — and with over £50,000 already raised, this year’s challenge promises to be our most impactful yet.
“We are grateful to the organisers and partners whose passion for our industry makes this all possible — and, of course, to the great British pubs we’ll be visiting along the way!”
