Launched in 2012, Bike Bath is one of the most popular cycling events in the South West of England. Taking place at the Recreation Ground, home of the illustrious Bath Rugby Club with the tower of Bath Abbey in the background, it is a historic venue from which to cycle into the glorious Mendips Hills National Landscape and the longer routes will include an ascent of the iconic Cheddar Gorge.
This year we have four routes to choose from, approximately 23, 46, 57 & 73 miles.
Join the camaraderie of riding alongside hundreds of like-minded individuals. Whether you're participating as part of a team or going solo, riding for a charity close to your heart or simply to push your own limits, you'll feel a true sense of accomplishment as you cross the finish line.
