Event overview

The GER is a challenging 66-mile recreational bike ride from Taunton to Blue Anchor on the West Somerset coast - a real city-to-coast cycling adventure through quiet Somerset lanes and, of course, the splendour of Exmoor. The 2025 edition of the GER was another big success where the combination of a spectacular & challenging route, lots of amazing support, and a whole bunch of lovely people on bikes all added up to yet another fabulous cycling day out. There are some really spectacular sights & views to enjoy along the way and it was clear from riders' reactions at the finish line in 2025 that they felt a huge sense of achievement at having conquered the significant challenge that this hilly route presents. So plans are now underway for more of the same at what will be the TENTH outing for the GER in 2026, and we're really looking forward to another great occasion - the aim is to make it as fun & as enjoyable as possible for everyone who rises to the challenge.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
