Grand draw prizes
Everyone who takes part in our raffle is a cyclist’s champion by providing funds to get Britain cycling.

Cycling UK members received Grand Draw tickets with the October / November issue of Cycle There are great prizes up for grabs in our Grand Draw, but the funds raised mean that everyone is a winner when you buy or sell tickets.

Cycling UK Chair Dan Howard explains how you can join him to raise £100,000

Much like Cycling UK’s ambitions the 2017 Cycling UK Grand Draw is the biggest ever with £8,500 of prizes including a wonderful tandem, exotic cycling holidays, camera, tyres, cycle clothing and a cash prize of £3,000. The draw is both a chance for you to win great prizes but crucially it also raises tens of thousands of pounds to help us get the UK cycling.

In just the last six months your support has enabled us to train more ride leaders to lead thousands of group rides; we’ve got half a million-people cycling  - through our National Bikeweek, by renovating and providing bikes for communities through the Big Bike revival, by pushing people to take their cycling even further in our new Challenge ride series and by celebrating and inspiring some of those underrepresented in cycling through the Women’s festival of Cycling.

We’re making cycling even safer providing #TooCloseForComfort close overtaking education mats to every police force in the UK and we’re making giant strides in our Rides of Way off-road campaigning to open huge swaths of the countryside for cyclists.

Did we say that our ambitions were huge – Cycling UK are the cyclists’ champion and by taking part in this raffle you are too. The prizes are kindly donated by the cycle trade because they too back our ambitions so please help us to reach the £100,000 target by taking part in the 2017 Grand Draw.

Previous winners of the grand draw

Paul and Pauline Edwards told us of their joy on winning the the Grand Draw last year. They said: "We have just returned home from enjoying our prize from last years Grand Draw. One week at the 'Cycle Sanctuary' on the South Downs courtesy of Miles Hutchings. We had a fantastic week in the most comfortable cottage full of cycling memorabilia. There were also two log burning stoves to complete the home comforts. The area provided excellent cycling and a wealth of interesting places to visit. All in all a most enjoyable way to celebrate my 70th birthday. On our return home we found the latest issue of 'CYCLE' in the mail along with this years Grand Draw tickets. Needless to say we will be buying more tickets this year."
