Since its launch in 2006, the Tour of Wessex has cemented its status as a legendary challenge of endurance, grit, and determination, attracting riders from across the globe. In 2024, the event took on a new format, evolving from its classic three-stage epic into a timed event on Saturday, with options to tackle 125km, 250km, or an epic 375km route. The adventure continues on Sunday with a more relaxed yet equally rewarding 110km Café Ride, offering participants the chance to enjoy breathtaking scenery and the camaraderie of fellow riders—a perfect way to round off an unforgettable weekend.
