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 we had over 600. Our third event took place on Sunday 21st May 2017 and we had over 800 . Thank you to all of our helpers, supporters and riders - it would not happen without you!
