You will be required to pay the event organisers a £39 registration fee, and you will commit yourself to raising a minimum of £100 in funds for Link Ethiopia. This will cover our costs for having you in the event, and will also make a big contribution to our work in Ethiopia.
Alternatively you can buy your place in the event independently of Link Ethiopia. Places for individuals cost £99. We’d love for you to ride with us any way you can, and will offer support with fundraising for everyone cycling to raise money for us. If you buy an individual place in the event then there will be no fundraising target – just raise as much as you can!

Nightrider is for experienced cyclists that are comfortable cycling in the dark and in traffic. As the event takes place at night, roads will be quieter but they will not close. Therefore Nightrider is not appropriate for beginner cyclists.
As the route is 100km long it does require a reasonable level of fitness. If you do chose to ride with us then we’ll be on hand in the months before to motivate you to get on your bike.
Unfortunately those aged under 18 may not take part in this competition.

For taking part in the Nightrider event you will receive a HiViz jacket, snacks on the break stops, and a breakfast when you finish. First aiders and bike mechanics will be on hand, but you should bring your own parts for the mechanics. You will receive maps, a GPS route, and there will be some signage and marshals on the night to guide you along the route. You will be able to choose your start location and start time.
Link Ethiopia will be on hand in the months before to help you fundraise, and to motivate you to get fit for the event!
*Help getting on your bike*
Sparks Cycle Shop in Harlesden will be offering their £69 service at £39 for Nightrider participants, and they will also chuck in a free bike health check.
There will be prizes for the top fundraisers, including a free bike service at Cloud 9 Cycles in London up to the value of £80!

New to Nightrider 2015 is a new 60km alternative route.

It’s important to be safe so you must have two working brakes, front and rear lights, a helmet, and a spare inner tube.
It might also be handy to bring along waterproof clothing, a bum bag, cycling gloves, extra snacks and anything else that might keep you warm and comfy.

We are asking our team members to commit to raising a minimum of £100. This more than covers the costs Link Ethiopia will have to pay the event organisers for each participant, and allows a nice big sum of money to be spent on the good causes our charity supports.
In our experience, £100 is a totally achievable amount to raise for such an event. We will provide each team member with information to set up an online fundraising account, a fundraising pack, and guidance and support from our fundraising team to help you achieve your goals.

Full support, back up and regular break stops are provided throughout the night, and a well-earned breakfast and medal at the finish line.

Highlights include Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Royal Opera House and the London Eye.
