Ride for Education: Bridges for Music Announces the IMS Ibiza Cycle Challenge 2025

After last year’s success, the IMS Ibiza Cycle challenge returns to raise funds for Bridges for Music! With new routes for all levels of cyclists, this event gathered an incredible mix of music industry professionals and cycling enthusiasts to ride some of the most beautiful and scenic routes in Ibiza and raise over 30,000 EUR.

This year’s participants will be able to choose between a longer 100km route or a shorter 60km route, both challenging and beautiful in its own way and will again include great pit stops at some of the iconic places on the island. The entry includes access to IMS Ibiza and its dedicated health and wellness area The Art of Areté, plus the legendary closing celebration of the summit IMS Dalt Vila, a unique event in the old town of Ibiza, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

“The collaboration with IMS Ibiza and AlphaTheta for this Charity Cycle is a great example of how the music industry can engage in social impact, combining wellness, music, and philanthropy. We are deeply grateful for the support and excited to see the positive change we can create together.” – Valentino Barrioseta (Founder of Bridges for Music)

The IMS Ibiza Cycle offers participants an unforgettable journey across the island’s scenic routes while raising essential funds to support music education for youth in underprivileged communities in Africa.

In an updated format from last year’s inaugural cycle, there are two routes to choose from. 60km for a relaxed experience or the full 100km for avid cyclists. Entries include access for the IMS conference or simply join the cycle. Inclusivity is at the core and riders of all fitness levels are welcome, with groups organised by pace and supported by expert guides, mechanics, and support vehicles. The proceeds will go towards the expansion of the Bridges Academy, including a new campus dedicated to younger youth groups aged 8-18.

“At AlphaTheta, we believe in music’s power to uplift communities. Cycling for a cause with Bridges for Music helps provide young talent in Cape Town with education and opportunities, building a more inclusive industry.” – Keleigh Batchelor (Marketing Manager at AlphaTheta)

Whether you’re an avid cyclist or simply looking to make a difference, the IMS Ibiza Cycle Challenge offers a fun way to combine fitness, community, and philanthropy. Join Bridges For Music in this movement to empower future generations through the universal language of music.
