Description
The event returns in 2026!
Get ready for a breathtaking ride across the Somerset Levels, capped off with the iconic climb up Cheddar Gorge, (Excluding short route).
This sportive is all about soaking in the scenery, and clocking up some early-season miles.
With three carefully designed route options, we've kept climbing to a minimum wherever possible — creating an exciting mix of flat sections, gentle rolling terrain, and beautiful landscapes, perfect for riders of all abilities.
And of course, we couldn't leave out the famous Cheddar Gorge climb — a rewarding highlight near the end of every route and a proud addition to your cycling palmarès.
Whatever your level, you’ll find a warm welcome here.
As with all our events, the routes are fully marked and supported, so the only thing you need to focus on is enjoying the ride.
