WELCOME
to the Great Weston Ride!
The GWR is a fabulous 58-mile (or more!) challenge bike ride from Bristol to Weston-super-Mare that follows a spectacular route through the Mendips and across the Somerset Levels.
It's an award-winning event that's received major recognition for its positive and valuable contribution to people's health & wellbeing, and for eight years in a row it's been shortlisted for the title of 'Best Event' in Bristol. Added to which, the post-event feedback from participants is overwhelmingly positive year after year - and there simply aren't many cycling events that can match all of this!
The 2024 edition of the GWR was another great success where the combination of a spectacular route, lots of amazing support, and a whole bunch of lovely people on bikes all added up to yet another fabulous cycling day out.
Riders' reactions & comments showed that they had a great time and felt a huge sense of achievement at having risen to the challenge that the GWR presents, and plans are well underway for more of the same in 2025 - and entry for the 2025 GWR is OPEN so just click HERE if you'd like to go straight to the online entry page.
​
And if you'd like to know more about the GWR please just explore the website - it should tell you all you need to know before you take the plunge!
​
It's most definitely a major 'must-do' cycling event for anyone who's willing to take on a personal challenge as part of a great day out, and we'd encourage everyone to read our Rider Comments for a riders'-eye view of the event.
