Bucks Radio Tour de Vale Charity Bike Ride
One Last Ride!
Since June 2004, thousands of cyclists have taken to the roads of Buckinghamshire to be part of something extraordinary. For more than two decades, the Bucks Radio Tour de Vale Charity Bike Ride has brought families and friends together to raise money WheelPower.
Now, after over 25,000 cyclists have taken part and raised over £1 million, the ride returns for the very last time.
