Trash Cat

treasure hunt style cycling EVENT SERIES to clear the trails from trash

Trash Cat was born from a desire to clean up waste on our trails in a fun, interactive and memorable format, while limiting what more waste we produce on the day.

Do you really need to stop at the co-op, a fly-by visit and consume a meal deal? Or could you make food at home and store it in a re-usable bag, or support a local business in a remote village?

The events are for all riders, of all levels and ages. We have seen fixed gear crews, MTB rides, hardcore roadies, families and ultra riders all riding the same events – a rare situation!

“To get to hang out and ride with friends but also know you’re helping clean the roads we love to ride makes this an amazingly unique event.
“Trash Cat is a great day out with the Bristol Cycling community, making a real, positive impact on our local environment.”

“It was great to be a part of the first Trash Cat in Leeds. A totally unique event, with real purpose at its core, bringing the cycling community together to help make a difference and clean up the roads and trails we love to ride.”
