Glowride for the Greenway 🚲✨

Join us for a magical evening cycle ride around Thame as we light up the town in support of the Haddenham - Thame Greenway.

Glowride for the Greenway is a relaxed, friendly group ride designed to be fun and inclusive. As dusk falls, we’ll cycle together around a planned route, with bikes and riders illuminated by lights, LEDs, and anything that glows. The ride aims to raise awareness of the desperate need for the Haddenham–Thame Greenway and celebrate active, sustainable travel in our community.
