15/07/2012	8am start in Bristol, finish on Weston Beach Lawns. The West Country's premier challenge bike ride, the Great Weston Ride, caters for riders of all abilities, with something to offer experienced cyclists and novices alike. The Ride’s 56-mile city-to-coast route starts in Bristol and then takes riders through some stunning countryside and picturesque Somerset villages as it wends its way through the Mendips and across the Somerset Levels to its final destination on the seafront in Weston-super-Mare. It's a great challenge, a great day out, and, although it’s completely optional, for many it's also about using their efforts to fundraise for charity (over £30,000 was raised in total in 2011), and huge numbers of people from the Weston and North Somerset areas rose to the challenge in 2011.
