We’re thrilled to announce our incredible team of 18 cyclists who will be taking on the challenge of riding 300 miles in just 3 days across the stunning landscapes of South-West England. Kicking off in Westward Ho!, North Devon, our riders will push through breath-taking scenery, all in support of a fantastic cause.
This epic charity cycle isn’t just about endurance—it’s about making a real difference. By taking part, our riders are raising awareness and vital funds to support our work. And this year is extra special, as It’s in the Bag celebrates 10 years as an independent charity!

Andy, pictured below says:
“I was really scared and nervous about heights beforehand—this was way out of my comfort zone. But I wanted a challenge, something to focus my mind on, and raising an amazing £1,100 for It’s in the Bag was the perfect motivation. The buzz on the day was fantastic, and the freefall from 15,000 feet was just incredible! If you’re thinking about it, go for it—it’s a great opportunity to push yourself and raise money for a brilliant cause. I’d encourage anyone to give it a try!”
