Cycle to COP26: 24 - 30 October 2021
The big UN Climate Conference, COP26, is going to be hosted in Glasgow in November 2021. We're going to cycle there, building climate action, awareness, and a community of champions along the way.
Support a riderAside from simply having a fun adventure while exploring the UK by bike, we have three direct goals for the ride:
Build a community of climate champions, through the shared challenge of the ride
Experience the positive impact we can all have by showing leadership on climate action, through raising climate action pledges to support the challenge*.
By sharing the story of the ride, the communities we pass through, and the carbon savings we inspire, we aim to inspire individuals to take action and to influence decision makers to be bolder in their climate commitments.
*All riders have their own Do Nation page where they can invite people to support them with climate action pledges, see their combined impact, and how that contributes to the collective impact of the ride. Take action to support a rider today.
Please note the following details are subject to change, but the current plan is:
Dates: 24th - 31st October 2021
Distance: Roughly 70 miles (110km) a day 7 days - though you can choose to join for as many days as you like.
Route: The route will break down into the following days:
Accommodation: Not included, allowing flexibility for you to book your preferred accommodation options. We'll provide a list of recommendations.
You can either sign up as an individual or as an organisation or team.
In order to make costs accessible to as wide a range of riders as possible, we're seeking sponsorship from like minded, climate-conscious companies to help subsidise the costs. If you're interested, please get in touch for more info.
Covid-19 certainly put a pause on things for a while, but we're now planning to go ahead with this ride in October 2021. We're keeping a close eye on the situation regarding Covid, and doing our best to make the event covid secure.
