Sports Cycling Ride for Ceylon

Ride for Ceylon is a four day 435km bike ride next held from the 26th – 29th February 2020. The ride starts in the capital Colombo on the south western edge of Sri Lanka and finishes in Manipay in the northern Jaffna province.

The ride is challenging, but inspiring. We cycle in pelotons to support each other – encouraged immensely by the beautiful landscape and people of Sri Lanka that lift our spirits en route. And there’s no finer motivation than the great work in progress to restore Green Memorial Hospital, Manipay.

Part of the proceeds are provided to the Manipay Hospital in Jaffna, to help the far North rebuild from the civil war.
