Joint Schools Sponsored Bike Ride 2025

Good luck to Green United who are holding their annual 9-mile sponsored bike ride today Sunday, 20th July.   Sponsorship is at £400 at the time of writing but the latest can be found here

The event is in collaboration with Cycle Lewes and Dr Bike Lewes, to raise funds for Love Our Ouse – a local group working to reconnect people with the River Ouse in all its forms, from stream to sea. This year’s sponsorship will support ongoing efforts to monitor nitrate and phosphate levels in the river, as well as a series of public events throughout the year.

The ride is open to 10 pupils (plus parents, carers, and siblings) from all six Lewes schools and will follow the Egret’s Way from the Linklater Pavilion, departing at 2:15 p.m., to Rodmell Community Hall, arriving around 2:45–3:00 p.m. There will be a short break for cake and biscuits before the return leg, with the group expected back at the Linklater Pavilion by 4:00–4:30 p.m.

Previous rides have raised funds for bike servicing projects in Lewes and Zambia, as well as for Surfers Against Sewage. This year, the Youth Board decided to “go upstream” and support a cause closer to home – the river running through it.
