The Summer Solstice Bike Ride (UK)

"The Summer Solstice Bike Ride is a fabulous new event taking place on the longest day of the year (21 June 2009) where participants cycle from sunrise to sunset. But this is not just any horizon. The journey begins with participants watching sunrise at Glastonbury Tor before embarking on a 125 kilometre bike ride to historical Stonehenge, in time for sunset. The route takes cyclists from Glastonbury Tor onto the renowned Cheddar Gorge. From here we cycle past the beautiful Mendip Hills (an area of outstanding natural beauty) and through the Salisbury Plain, before we embark on the final leg of our journey - making our way to the majestic Stonehenge. Passing through small villages and stopping for regular breaks including lunch and dinner, this really is a wonderful and unique cycling experience. The bike ride is challenging, but definitely achievable and something that anyone can do. You will be part of a fantastic team all cycling for one great cause. So get in gear and join the others taking part and help raise funds that will make a real difference to people whose lives have been affected by stroke."
