Great Weston Ride

We'd just like to say a huge thanks & a massive 'Well Done' to everyone who took part, supported &/or helped at another epic GWR yesterday 👏👍😁

We're extremely grateful for everyone's positive attitudes & input and we ended up with lots of happy faces again, and it really was an awesome achievement to complete the Ride - especially with that wind!

So huge congratulations to everyone who rode with us and made it such a great day out 👏👏👏

And likewise to our fantastic team on the support side of things, including:

Huge thanks & appreciation for their wonderful contributions.

Finally, there has to be an extra-special mention for 'Mad Matt' and his unicycle - as you can see, he completed his amazing challenge AND raised a ton of money for 'Prostate Cancer UK in the process. Chapeau sir 👏👏👏

Well done once again to everyone involved - AND LET'S DO IT ALL AGAIN NEXT YEAR! 😁

Once again some fab photos of another great day out - do take a look 😍😁👏

Ladies & gents, your routes are ready & waiting and we're pleased to say they're in very good nick (especially after we swept about a ton of gravel off the big descent!!) 😍

So another great GWR day out beckons, and we look forward to seeing you all in the morning 😁👍😁

And no doubt this 👇 will be a popular sight come tomorrow afternoon!

As you can see, we've ordered up a nice little dip in the heatwave conditions just in time for Sunday 😁

It's looking like we'll have near-perfect conditions for cycling, and nobody's going to melt or get burnt to a crisp - so don't ever say we don't look after you! 😜😂

Might even be a decent tailwind up the big climb of the day! 🤞🙏

But whatever the weather, we look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday for another great day out! 👍👍👍

GET A LOAD OF THIS!!! 👇

'Mad Matt' (as we've christened him!) is taking on the 2026 GWR challenge to fundraise for Prostate Cancer UK - and he's doing it ON A UNICYCLE!!!

Utterly bonkers, but what a star - and hopefully Matt might inspire a few others to do the same and fundraise for such a worthy & vital cause (maybe just without the unicycle bit!) 😂

Come and join him, and/or give him your support 👇👏

This Father's Day, we're thinking of everyone affected by prostate cancer, including families remembering loved ones 💙

Prostate cancer is the UK's most common cancer, with more than 64,000 men diagnosed every year.

These men aren't just numbers - they're our dads, our partners, our brothers and our friends.

Together, we can power the life-changing research and improvements to care that men urgently need.
