Severn Valley Cycle Challenge

A scenic cycle event!

Sunday 19th August 2012

Thank you to everyone who took part in our second Severn Valley Cycle Challenge in August 2011! Nearly 100 participants chose to cycle either a 10 or a 20 mile route through the Severn Valley countryside finishing in picturesque Bewdley.

Once again the sun shone for our cyclists who included serious cyclists as well as families enjoying a day out complete with picnic! They enjoyed a leisurely journey back to their start point by steam train.

£7,000 was pledged in sponsorship on the day and it is hoped that the event will raise over £15,000 overall – an incredible achievement! Thank you to all who were involved, including our wonderful volunteers.

We hope to see you again next year on Sunday 19th August! You can register your interest now by emailing This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

About this event

With a choice of a demanding 10 or 20 mile route this event is ideal for those wanting to challenge themselves, those wishing to get back into cycling or those just wanting a nice day in the country.

The routes depart from Bridgnorth (20 mile route) and the Severn Valley Country Park (10 mile route) and pass Arley Arboretum, Acorns Memorial Wood and the Wyre Forest before reaching the finish line in Bewdley. Once you complete the challenge you can celebrate your achievement by enjoying a leisurely steam train ride on the Severn Valley Railway back to your start point. Your train fare is included in your entry fee.

A great way to get fit and enjoy the countryside, you can take your time and even stop for a picnic halfway if you fancy! Once you reach the finish you can take a leisurely journey back to the start on the Severn Valley Steam Train (train fare included in your entry fee) and celebrate your achievement!
