Charity Cycle Adventure 2025
What is Charity Cycle Adventure (CCA)?
CCA welcomes a range of enthusiastic cyclists who can combine their love of cycling through the spectacular scenery of Vietnam with raising funds for those children and youngsters who are less fortunate. Over the span of 14 years, this event has raised over US$767,000, providing substantial support for the critical work saigonchildren does in Vietnam.
We have experienced guides and mechanics accompanying the cyclists to facilitate a smooth and safe adventure with snacks/drinks approx. every 20km along the way to keep you hydrated and energised. The route has been purposely designed to avoid busy roads and maximize breathtaking scenery. You can bring your own bike or hire a decent mountain bike for an additional fee of USD12/day.
