Congratulations on signing up to the Somerset Cycle 2025!

You have signed up for either the 44km, 64km or 109km* cycle – this is a timed event, with self-guided route GPX files. This route is suitable for road bikes but we welcome everyone to the challenge whether that’s on a hybrid or mountain bike. The Quantock Hills will provide a stunning backdrop for the event and although we can’t promise sunshine, we can promise glorious scenery and a rewarding experience we are sure you will enjoy!

Make sure you’re geared up (!) and well prepared for the ride by getting in lots of training beforehand. By completing the Somerset Cycle, not only will you experience a great sense of achievement, both in knowing you have succeeded in completing the challenge but also that you will have raised vital funds for the Youth Adventure Trust’s work with vulnerable young people.

*please note the route has been revised and is slightly longer than previously stated
