Mont Ventoux Cycle Challenge

Friday 10 – Tuesday 14 July 2026

Mont Ventoux is a regular fixture of the Tour de France and is well known for its arid rocky landscape situated in a beautiful part of Provence. We will be based in the town of Malaucene and spend Saturday and Sunday taking in scenic rides flanking Mont Ventoux, before attempting a choice of 1, 2, or 3 recognised ascents of this classic peak on Monday. This endurance challenge will see you cycling up to 203 miles with up to 23,700ft of ascent.

This event is fully supported by our volunteer team who will provide picnic lunches, tea stops, snacks and refreshments along the way. All bikes and luggage will be brought back by the team after the event ready to collect from the YMCA Sports and Community Centre in Redhill.

Training

Join our free, friendly and fun cycling training sessions designed to give you the fitness and stamina you will need to achieve your goal. A variety of ride options will be available on each day to ensure that training rides are tailored to each event.  

Monthly Sunday morning and weekly Tuesday evening rides will start in 2026. 

Find out more about training

We would also encourage cyclists to join a cycle club, if not a member already where training sessions are available every week. The nearest one to us is Redhill Cycling Club.  Local club Team Cake also take regular social rides, information for which can be found on their Facebook Page.

Fundraise for us!

All money raised from our 2026 challenge events will go towards our Life Change Fund set up to help young people belong, contribute and thrive through YMCA East Surrey’s charitable projects.

The entry fee purely covers the cost of the event and our minimum sponsorship amount is £600pp to help young people belong, contribute and thrive through YMCA East Surrey’s charitable projects.

Join us in making a difference and creating a brighter future for young people.
