When: July 17, 2024

Where: Bristol to Weston-Super-Mare, UK

Details: 2010 saw the launch of the Great Weston Ride, a brand new city-to-coast challenge bike ride that received rave reviews from participants. The organisers are now looking to build on that success as they open the doors for entry for the 2011 Ride.

The event is positioned as a destination challenge bike ride for all-comers, along the lines of the famous London to Brighton ride.

The 56-mile route starts in Bristol and then takes riders through some stunning countryside and picturesque Somerset villages as it weaves its way through the Mendips and across the Somerset Levels to its final destination on the seafront in Weston-super-Mare.

Andy Cook, Ride Director and lifelong cyclist, said: “A great deal of thought and effort went into getting the route right, and the overwhelming consensus from this year’s riders was that the route was spot-on in terms of stunning scenery and presenting a good level of challenge for riders of all abilities and experience.

“We wanted to create a ride that has something for everyone and the feedback we’ve received tells us that, while it’s most definitely a decent challenge, it’s also a ride that just about anyone can have a go at with a little bit of determination.”
