About Us
The Wedmore 40/30 charity cycle event is set to take place on 10 September 2023, starting at the Post & Wicket in Wedmore (BS28 4BS)
The exciting cycling challenge sees bike enthusiasts take on a 30, 40 or 70 mile course across the spectacular Mendip Hills and Somerset Levels. There is also a fun, family-friendly 12-mile course..
Weston Hospicecare is working in collaboration with a brilliant group of cycling enthusiast volunteers from Wedmore to bring this event to you and money raised through ticket sales will be split between Weston Hospicecare and St Mary's Church. All funds raised through sponsorship and donations will go directly to supporting the care the hospice provides for free to those in North Somerset and Sedgemoor with life-limiting conditions.

12 miles: 'Family Fun Ride': this shorter fun ride is ideal for a range of abilities; a short, mainly flat route around the Somerset Levels. Ride starts at 10:30am
30 miles: 'Ride the Levels': you will head south of Wedmore towards Glastonbury, taking in views of the beautiful Somerset Levels. Ride starts at 10am
