Burnham and Highbridge Band will serenade cyclists arriving in Weston at the end of a cross-country cycling event on Saturday June 21st.
The band has been invited along to Weston Pier between 7pm and 9pm to play summer music at the finish of the Chase the Sun cycling event.
It’s held every year around June 21st, the longest day of the year. The 200-mile route sees the cyclists pedal from the Thames Estuary to Weston-Super-Mare, dealing with 3,000 metres of elevation. They will be starting at sunrise – 4.41am – and will aim to finish before sunset at 9.33pm.
Chase the Sun is a non-competitive sunrise to sunset challenge, with the goal of reaching the end of the course in the allotted times. It used to finish in Burnham until several years ago.
