Starting 26th August 2026, a team of T1D cyclists will ride off-road from Land's End to John O'Groats.
Along the way, we'll host five Community Days and three Community Rides, bringing together people with Type 1 Diabetes, their families, caregivers and healthcare professionals to share lived experience, practical guidance and confidence around exercising safely with Type 1 Diabetes.
Come say hello, bring your kids, ride a stretch with us, or share this with someone who might need it.
Not to prove a point, but to share one.
Type 1 diabetes shouldn't be a barrier to adventure - or to everyday exercise. Living well with Type 1 Diabetes - through exercise, through adventure, through the unpredictable - is something too few people feel equipped to do. Ride4T1 exists to change that - not by telling people what's possible, but by showing it, day after day, in real conditions, across the full length of Britain. We want to show what's possible when adventure, knowledge and community come together.
Off-road from Land's End to John O'Groats on a gravel-first route, this ride is a moving platform for education - for people with Type 1 Diabetes, for the families who support them, and for the healthcare professionals who guide them. Every mile is an opportunity to open up a conversation that doesn't happen nearly enough: how do you exercise safely and with confidence? Because understanding how to manage Type 1 Diabetes through movement can genuinely transform how you live with it.
Join us for a Community Day - bring your kids, bring your bike for a short spin and local laps on the Saturday, or ride a full stage with us on the Sunday. Follow the tracker. Or simply share it with someone who needs to see it, and help us grow a movement from Cornwall to Caithness.
Everything about Ride4T1 lives on its own page - dive into whichever part matters to you.
