A CYCLE 'pump track' named in memory of two Somerset men who tragically died after an accident in Spain will host a special fun day tomorrow (July 24).

The J'Dan Pump Track, in Puriton, is named after Jayden Dolman and Daniel Mee, who passed away after falling from a wall during a holiday in Alicante in 2019.

Organisers behind the mammoth fundraising effort felt it was fitting to name it after the popular pair.

The track, which opened in June at Puriton Sports Centre, is the result of years of planning and fundraising by villagers.

And now they will showcase the facility during a special event between 2pm and 6pm this weekend, to raise money for the future of the track.

"It will include a ventriloquist, bouncy castle and a DJ, together with demonstrations from pro and semi pro skaters, riders, and BMXs, with some amazing prizes in our raffle and tombola which includes a BMX bike, scooter, skateboard and many more," said a spokesperson.

Refreshments will also be available, including a burger van, ice cream van, sweets stall and coffee and teas on tap.

"Members of the pump track group, Simon Langley, Becky Nash, Nicky Salway, Vicky Davies, and Ian Henderson are looking forward to a great event and plan to raise over £3,000 towards this £114,000 project, which was kindly awarded by Viridor credits and Villages Together," the spokesperson added. 

"Many other contributions have been made by local companies including KRG, Auto Workshop Equipment, Type 1 groundworks and S.PRINT, to help us succeed in raising the £3,000 towards the future.

"Puriton Parish Council has been involved from the very start and Sally Diaz, the clerk, looks after the finances, and has helped to get the funding from Viridor credits and Villages together, and help things run smoothly and keep us all in check."

The Pump track was constructed by Velosolutions a company that has installed many similar tracks around the country, this one although small has been describe as fast, tight, and complex by those who have ridden it. 

The Tarmac construction allows most wheeled people powered vehicles to ride it and using tarmac makes for a long-lasting track for many generations to come.

Organisers said there was no parking available on site and urged people to arrive by bicycle.
