Well done to all riders who took part in the Bristol 60/25 mile bike ride, yesterday. Perfect cyling weather and a good time had by all (we hear!).

No photographer on this ride, sadly - he was unwell and we couldn't secure another at short notice. Our apologies but you can see the pictures taken by the Stroke Association here and where you can also make a donation.

Setting off from the majestic grounds of Blaise Castle in Bristol, these beautiful new circular rides skirt the edge of the Cotswolds on the outward leg, then turn towards the Severn, before making their way down the flats of the Severn Valley near Berkeley Castle - and onto the finish, where a warm welcome awaits!

"! I completed the Bristol 60 mile event yesterday! I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone involved! It was a great route with enough hills to keep it interesting and some really beautiful scenery!" J.A.P.
