Ride For Sight 2026, billed in its programme as "Pedal for a Purpose", is a charity bicycle ride organised by St. Nicholas' Home. The ride is on Saturday 21 November 2026 and starts and finishes at Pickle By The Sea on Gurney Drive.
It is a single 23.5km ride, a comfortable morning distance for recreational cyclists, and entry costs RM70. The organiser frames it as a ride to raise awareness and promote healthy living; the registration page does not spell out how the money will be used, though the closing programme includes a speech from a St Nicholas' Home representative.
The tentative schedule has riders gathering from 6.30am, a safety briefing at 6.45am, a group photo at the start arch at 7am and the VIP flag-off at 7.05am. The ride itself runs until about 8.45am, with a pit stop in front of Rainbow Paradise Hotel, before riders return for refreshments. Speeches, partner appreciation and a lucky draw follow, and the programme is expected to wrap up around 10.30am. The organiser notes that timings may shift with the weather and how quickly riders return, and asks everyone to arrive at least 30 minutes before flag-off.
The registration page shows 20 November 2026 beside its closing-date icon. Bring your own bicycle and helmet, and check the Howei page for T-shirt and medal details, which are shown only as designs.
