Join us for our annual cycling adventure on Friday 27th June as we raise funds in support of Solidarity Sports.
Following a route designed by our cycling partners, the ride traces much of the London 2012 Olympic course, travelling into Surrey and around Box Hill in a 60-mile loop. The route is designed for intermediate riders and does require a road bike.
The day starts and ends at the same spot near our Hammersmith office. You’re more than welcome to store your belongings in a secured location here during the ride.
We’ll provide each rider with a jersey and guides from the London Cycle Workshop and Where My Wheels Go will escort us to ensure there aren’t too many bumps along the road.
Cap off your day with a well-earned meal on us when we return to London.
It will be a reasonably early start, so make sure to set those alarms to make the most of the day! We hope to see you there for a memorable and rewarding experience!
Why the ride?
Solidarity Sports is our local partner charity. It brings under-privileged children from our local community together in sporting and social activities to promote health and happiness.
Smart Currency has been working with Solidarity Sports since 2017. We were their first official corporate sponsor, or “memory maker”. Last year we contributed to their record-breaking £50,000 Cost-of-Living Crisis Appeal and we hope you’ll join us in contributing to their fantastic work.
Whether you consider yourself a casual cyclist or “King of the Mountains”, we welcome those of all cycling abilities to take part.
There will be support on the day from the team, with guides to chaperone you and mechanics on hand if needed. Plus, you’ll receive a Smart Currency lycra racing top to commemorate the event and cause.
As the cycle ride is in support of Solidarity Sports and the brilliant work they do for disadvantaged children, we want to give them a donation to remember.
Smart Currency pledges to donate £50 for every rider who joins and we also encourage all riders to donate the equivalent amount (or more!) to aid this wonderful cause.
To donate, please visit the event’s JustGiving page: Smart Currency Business is fundraising for Solidarity Sports
Meet your hosts for the day

Jared Golden
Jared has been a huge sport enthusiast for years, with interests spanning across a variety of outdoor and athletic activities. Whether he’s enjoying summer test or rugby matches, football, or long walks and hikes with loved ones, his enthusiasm for sport is contagious – and his love of cycling is no different!
Having been a keen cyclist since his late 20’s, Jared has helped his brother train for multiple Ironman events and ridden many routes around the home counties, including London to Brighton.
Jared’s affinity to Smart’s partner charity, Solidarity sports, runs deep. His love of outdoor activities also means his values are also well aligned with their mission to actively engage their kids through activities. Jared feels the day will be a “great way to have a leisurely cycle with like-minded individuals and earn some refreshments back at a beer garden in London!”
