Event Details:

On Sunday, 23rd August choose one (57km) or two (98km) loops on quiet, undulating Avon Valley roads. The rides are designed to be accessible, but are challenging with 600m and 1200m of climbing over the two routes. The rides are fully supported with an aid station where you can replenish with Winners nutrition products and more.

Regos open soon. Follow WestCycle Events socials for more.

Grades & Distances:
57km ride (1 loop)

This ride is accessible to most bike riders at 57km but with 600m of climbing, it’s more than a pootle to the shops! A couple of pre-excursion training rides into your local hills is recommended so you can maximise enjoyment of the lush scenery riding solo or in a team!

98km ride (2 loops)

The 98km ride takes on the rolling Avon Valley loop twice to put 1200m of climbing in the legs and some fun, flowing descents! There’s an aid station half way around, plenty of picture opps if that’s your thing, and a final short haul back to the finish line. Job done!
