CORVID 19 Update
Due to the outbreak this event is now on hold. Planning for the event will restart and a new date set
when the current restrictions have been relaxed which allows decisions to be made.
Welcome to The Big Hearted Bike Day 2020 which will challenge determined riders and thrill spectators as well as raising funds for important surgical equipment in our area.
Building on the success of the 2019 Bike Day the race schedule, authorised by British Cycling, is designed to be inclusive of all riders across all levels of the sport and includes a Time Trial, Circuit Races and Women’s and Men’s Devil Takes The Hindmost races (see the “Races Page” for more details of entry levels and race formats).
Starting at 12.00pm, there will be a series of 5 races that will be challenging for the riders and thrilling to watch. Some of our best local riders will take battle for key races like:
- Stone King Challenge Cup (the Women’s Devil) and
- Bugler Coaches Challenge Cup (the Men’s Devil).
We are delighted that the [to be announced] Cycling Club will manage the race organisation on the day. Their involvement and support will add greatly to the rider centric elements of the event.
Food and drinks will be available at the circuit to keep you and the family going.
We want everyone to enjoy it so come along, bring your friends and family and take part.
Please see the ‘Buy Tickets’ page to get your entrance ticket.

Every penny raised will be used by the Big Hearted Charity to buy specialist equipment for our local hospitals. The Big Hearted Valentine’s Ball in February raised enough money to buy a Head Mounted Video Recording System for the Cardiology Department at The Bristol Heart Institute where seriously ill patients from Bath, Bristol and the surrounding counties would be treated for major heart conditions. So you can have a great day out and help to save lives. Everyone wins!
