- About The Samaritans
Sams Ride is an annual very friendly, non-competitive charity Cycle Sportive in aid of the Salisbury and District Samaritans 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 is planned for Sunday 21st May 2017 and we are planning an even bigger and better event.. There were three choices of route - the SERIOUS 100 mile ride, the SPORTY 50 mile ride or the SENSIBLE 25 mile ride – providing something for everyone.
