These are multi-day cycling events organized by Ripple Effect Rides in partnership with REACH Siem Reap, aimed at raising funds to support vulnerable children in Cambodia. We offer two main routes: "The Coast to Angkor" (650km) and "The Border & Beyond" (400km).

"Yes, fundraising is an integral and mandatory part of the Ride to REACH experience. All riders are required to meet the minimum fundraising commitment of $3,250 USD per person. This commitment is crucial to supporting the vital work REACH Siem Reap does for children and families within the community. Failure to meet this minimum fundraising target will unfortunately mean that the participant will not be able to join the ride. We believe this commitment ensures that every rider is fully invested in the purpose of the challenge, maximising the positive impact we can collectively make.

The funds raised through Ride to REACH go directly to REACH Siem Reap's life-changing 13 poverty-alleviating programs.

These programs provide vital support to more than 375 children and their families, empowering them to build brighter futures and break the cycle of poverty.

We offer two routes:

The Coast to Angkor: A 11-day journey from Kampot to Siem Reap, covering 650km over 8 days of cycling, showcasing Cambodia's stunning coastline and cultural heritage.

The Border & Beyond: A 7-day adventure from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, covering 400km over 5 days of cycling. Exploring diverse landscapes, including the Koh Ker UNESCO heritage temple and remote regions near the Laos border.

The Coast to Angkor is ideal for those who:

• Have more time and want a longer, more comprehensive Cambodian experience.
• Enjoy diverse scenery, including coastal regions and rural landscapes.
• Prefer a ride with a larger group.
• Want an 11 day experience.

The Border & Beyond is perfect for those who:

• Have a shorter timeframe but still want a challenging and immersive adventure.
• Are interested in exploring remote regions and ancient temples.
• Enjoy a more intimate group experience.
• Want a 7 day experience.
• Are looking for a challenging 400km in 5 riding days experience.
