We are delighted to welcome you to the 2024 edition of the South West Property Sportive. After taking a break for a number of years our much loved sportive will return in the late summer offering three loops that explore the nearby Mendips, lakes and quiet country lanes. Utilising the fantastic facilities of the Somerdale Pavilion, located on the edge of the Chocolate Quarter (on the site of the former Cadbury’s factory), in Keynsham our event will once again perfectly combine a sportive challenge with a social get together. The great thing about our non-competitive event is that it caters for all abilities but still enables an element of competition even if it is against yourself! To those of you attending for the first time, don’t be daunted, enjoy the experience and we hope you enjoy it enough to return next year.
Paul, Mike and the team at Bikefest always do a fantastic job, running the event like a finely tuned machine and leaving nothing to chance. The proven venue of the Somerdale Pavilion will provide excellent start and finish facilities and will be providing finishers with welcoming after ride snacks and drinks to recharge their batteries while they exchange riding stories from the day.
The BPAA is pleased to remain associated with this excellent event and grateful for your continued support and in particular for the money raised for this year’s charity, Penny Brohn.
We are also incredibly grateful to all our sponsors, details of which you will see around the courses and event venue. This event would not be possible without your support which is very much appreciated. Some special thanks go out to the volunteers who are helping out on food stations, registration and generally cheering you all on around the course throughout the day.
I’m hoping to see you all at some stage throughout the day and hope you make it back in time for the presentations at the pavilion post-race. Please do stay around for some socialising, food and possibly a refreshing drink. You may even win one of the ad-hoc prizes awarded during the day.
Good luck, enjoy the day and have a safe ride.
