List of registered riders. (See note below.)

The Big Spring Ride will take place again this year on Sunday 8th May.

Organised jointly by Cycle Bristol CTC and Bristol Cycling Campaign, the ride is aimed at people who don't normally cycle beyond the town - last year they really enjoyed the experience of getting into the countryside and being with others. Of course all CTC and BCyC members are welcome and are encouraged to bring their friends and family.

Bristol Cycling Campaign and Cycle Bristol CTC are very pleased to announce that the list of riders for Sunday's Big Spring Ride is now full. However, if you are still keen to particpate and have not yet registered there may be some places available on the day. If you are prepared to take a chance, come along at 9:15 as there may be some last minute cancellations (To help speed things up, please bring completed entry forms with you.) Looks like it will be a fabulous day.

Listen to BBC Radio Bristol on Saturday - there will be a piece about it on Saturday Breakfast with Ali Vowles - about 7:30AM and a slot on the News on Sunday.

This year we will leave Bristol on a fairly flat route alongside the river, then head towards Chew Valley lake. There's a description of the ride here ride description. If you like to know where you are going, or for future reference, there's a MAP HERE and a ROUTESHEET HERE.

We will ride in groups of 10 to 15 people so the number we can take is limited by the number of our leaders and helpers. To make sure of your place please register as soon as you can by downloading the form here Entry Form. Print the form and complete one form for every adult or child, of any age, [MAKE SURE YOU SIGN THE DISCLAIMER] and post to the address at the bottom of the form. For persons under 18 a parental consent form must be signed by a parent or legal guardian. All children under 13 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. If you register but then find you are unable to come please email us here so that someone else can take your place.

IMPORTANT - Check that your application has been accepted by looking on this list Riders List. (See note below.) Applicants will not be added to the list once we reach our maximum number. If there are late cancellations there may be some spaces for additional riders on the day for those who turn up properly equipped, but they will risk being turned away.
