During the ride from Okehampton, the cyclists tackled a number of steep climbs and descents as they skirted the edge of Dartmoor and crossed the Quantocks.
It is the third Deloitte ride, organised by the business advisory firm which is the official professional services partner for the London 2012 Games, and is due to reach its destination on Sunday.
The firm's choice of the association as the charity partner for the ride has emerged from Deloitte Disability Sport, a programme that aims to get disabled people active, competing and winning in sport.
