Sams Ride is an annual very friendly, non-competitive charity Cycle Sportive in aid of the Samaritans of Salisbury and District that is now recognised as one of the premier charity cycle sportives in the Hampshire and Wiltshire region. In 2015, we had 400 riders and 2016, 600 riders and in 2017, over 800! Our fourth event takes place on Sunday 27th May 2018 and we are once again expecting over 800 riders. We are expecting to sell out so you are advised to enter early.
