About The Tour of Wessex

Tour of Wessex HQ, Somerton.
The Tour of Wessex Cyclosportive is the only multi stage sportive in UK and it is one of the biggest cycling challenges that you will ever take part in. 329 miles (527 km) in 3 days is real test even for the very strongest riders. And for those of you that want something a little less taxing, you can ride a single stage and chose from distances of 12 miles, 73 miles, 106 miles, 117 miles and 106 miles.
 
In 2009 2,300 entries were received over the three days - We hope you will join us in 2010. The event conforms to the highest standards which we aim to improve on every year. We want you to go away feeling that you have taken part in a uniquely challenging and rewarding event; the organisation of which is second to non.
