Cry in the Dark Cycle events.

Join us on one of our exciting up coming bike rides.

 

Los Angeles to Las Vegas,
Cycle Via Death Valley on this epic adventure. 

This is an incredible cycling event, cycling 450 miles over 6 days with a well earned rest day after the 4th day. The 5th day cycling is an epic day with over 100 miles, so the rest will be well needed to recoup before the challenge continues.

The ride will take you from the Pacific coast at Santa Monica right through Death Valley and into Las Vegas finishing at the famous welcome to LAS VEGAS Sign!

Average days are around 75 miles of cycling with one day of 100 miles.

This exclusive ride only has 10 places available and they will be reserved on a first come, first served basis with the registration fee (£200 non refundable) serving as a guarantee of your place on the ride subject to the balance being paid.

When is it?
The dates are departing London on the 7th of March 2025 and departing Las Vegas on the 15th March 2025 (arriving home 16th March 2025).

What’s included in the cost?

  • Flights into Los Angeles from London and flights out of Las Vegas to London including your bike.
  • Transfers to the Hilton Garden Hotel at Marina Del Ray.
  • Transfers from the Hilton in Las Vegas to Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport.

  • Rest day at Furnace Creek at the Death Valley Ranch Hotel. The first nights meal will be paid for. (On the rest day apart from your included breakfast, all meals and drinks will need to be paid for by you.)
  • Full on the road support vehicles throughout the ride providing food, lunch and refreshments for all the cyclists.
  • All evening meals (Excluding the rest day in Furnace Creek)

We have looked at other world cycling events and we feel this is a reasonable price. The charity will make no income from the event fees, only the sponsorship raised. The costs of the event are split away from the sponsorship as we feel it’s not right for cyclists friends or family to have their sponsorship used for the payment of the trip. This is an important point when asking for sponsorship for the ride.

We ask for a minimum of £500 sponsorship.

What’s the cost?

There are two options to pay to take part.

Option One Event Fee: Room Share throughout the trip £2600 (less the non refundable £200 Registration fee.)
Plus £500 minimum sponsorship.

Option Two Event Fee: Single room throughout the trip. £3300 (less the  non refundable £200 Registration fee.)
Plus £500 minimum sponsorship.
