Congratulations and a huge 'Thank You' to everyone who turned up and rode the inaugural Great Weston Ride. We thought that it was a fantastic day and we really hope that everyone enjoyed the event as much as we did. We'd also like to thank the many people who supported the event and without whom it would not have been possible to provide the same rider experience. If anyone would like to leave any comments or feedback please feel free to do so via the 'Rider Feedback' form, and obviously keep an eye on your inbox for details of next year's event! Thanks again - AND WELL DONE! - to you all. |

The Great Weston Ride is a fun and challenging recreational bike ride that offers a significant physical challenge for the cyclist AND the opportunity for a fun day out by the sea with family and friends.
The ride starts in Bristol and then weaves its way along the highways and byways of North Somerset, following a spectacular course through the Mendips and across the Somerset Levels, before finally finishing on the seafront at Weston-super-Mare.
It's not a race, there's no official timing, and everyone's welcome to come along and sample the delights of the Somerset countryside en route to the coast - the objective is to enjoy the day and the sense of achievement that completing the ride will bring!
And the route itself is designed to appeal to everyone - experienced cyclists, recreational riders, commuters, and even non-cyclists who are willing to rise to a challenge. All you need is a bike, a bit of determination and a sense of adventure!

And, of course, with the ride ending by the sea it's the perfect opportunity for friends and family to meet the riders at the finish line, celebrate their achievement and then enjoy a family day out on the beach. The ride itself takes place on predominantly quiet country roads, with a clearly-marked and marshalled route and full mechanical and medical support throughout. Official refreshment stops are also provided, and of course for those of a more leisurely disposition there will be many other opportunities to stop and sample the famous West Country hospitality and/or take in the breathtaking scenery! |
