The ride will commence at the New Zealand Memorial at Hyde Park Corner, and will progress approximately 60 miles to Christ Church, Oxford.

Christchurch in New Zealand was named after Christ Church, Oxford and Christchurch Cathedral was founded by members of Christ Church, Oxford in the mid-19th Century. It seems particularly poignant that as Christchurch in New Zealand starts to rebuild that the bike ride ends where the city began over 150 years ago.

The date for the ride is Sunday 22 May which will be three months to the day since the earthquake.
