  • Why we rode at RAFA Rides 2025

    The RAF Associations’ RAFA Rides is a cycling event like no other. Participation isn't just about the miles covered, it's about the powerful stories behind each pedal, the hearts behind the wheels. Cyclists joined us to honour loved ones, inspire others, and raise awareness of the associations' work for those who have, and still do, serve in the RAF. Scroll down to watch and listen to some of our amazing cyclists and the reasons why they chose to join us and support RAFA Rides 2025.
