Join us for a Ride

The next Purlieu Community Ride is the Oxford Alleycat, organised in conjunction with Pannekoek Cafe. We are delighted to have teamed up with a number of other businesses locally as well.

The Alleycat Race is an urban exploration event that provides checkpoint locations but no specific route, part of the event is to find the fastest route between checkpoints, being creative with navigation can be better than sheer speed on the bike. There will be afterparties and socialising so make sure you hang around after the event.

Race entry is £5 donation to Helen and Douglas House. All bikes (apart from e-bikes) welcome, all people welcome.
