The Somerset Cycle Challenge for 2010 has now ended. Between March and July, the 312 people taking part in the challenge have:

  • Cycled more than 3 times around the world
  • Burned off 7,750 Magnum ice creams.
  • Saved as much CO2 as 14 trees absorb in their whole lifetimes

We'd like to thank everyone who took part in the Challenge and who make the effort to travel by bicycle, walking or public transport at times rather than always using a private car. Your efforts help keep Somerset healthy, happy and on the move.

Although the Challenge itself has ended, you can keep using this website to log your cycling trips, keep track of your mileage, the number of calories you have burned and the CO2 emissions you have saved.

We will also be continuing to give out cinema vouchers to new participants and the people who encourage them to cycle, so please keep spreading the word.

Don't forget we also offer a number of other cycle support services, such as training (for adults and families), route planning, maintenance and maps. These can all be accessed through our website www.movingsomersetforward.co.uk.
