From Kevin Cordell, Deputy Lord Provost:

I am very glad to see our community coming together again for this landmark 20th Dundee Cyclathon. The event always proves to be a wonderful event showcasing our ability and commitment to helping others in our city by getting on our bikes.

The funds raised through the initiative go far in making a difference to the lives of many children facing poverty in our city and participants’ efforts are always welcomed.

In the 20th year of the Cyclathon, it is great to see the event’s growing success and continued positive impact.

Top Tips for your Ride

Start your fundraising early. Get registered and set up your Just Giving page as soon as possible.
Set yourself a challenging goal for your fundraising. Even if you don’t achieve it you are likely to raise more money. Contact friends and family first and try to get a “Good” donation early on as people often match previous donations.
Working together with others makes it more fun and you can encourage each other.
Use social media to spread the word about what you are doing. Include the Just Giving link to make it easy to donate.
Have fun and stay healthy. Cycling is good for your cardiovascular fitness. Stay safe! See our advice below on safe cycling.
