Bristol to Green Man

Imagine a 2-day, 76 mile, fully guided and supported cycle adventure - with routes, food, luggage transfers, and camping all taken care of. All you need to do is turn up, ride and enjoy the journey. What began as a handful of riders in 2019 has become a summer highlight: a rolling festival on wheels, where the ride is every bit as special as the destination.

​

The incredible Green Man team reward our heroic cyclists with access to the GM site a day early (on Wednesday 19 August 2026), free drinks token and secure bike parking.

​

We roll out from Bristol on quiet backroads, leaving the city behind as the countryside opens up. Our first stop comes on the Severn Estuary - time to stretch, refuel, and enjoy the views - before crossing the Old Bridge into Wales. From there, the road winds through the Wye Valley, past iconic Tintern Abbey, before the day ends at our riverside campsite in Usk.

​

Day two loops south into the Welsh Valleys, stopping for lunch at the Big Pit National Coal Museum - a striking reminder of the region’s industrial past - before climbing gently through Blaenavon and sweeping down into Crickhowell. From there, it’s a final scenic push into the Glanusk Estate, home of the Green Man Festival.
