Grand Tour Somerset 2016

Join GTC on our annual Sportive Event - here on our home patch, riding on our fave roads, over our fave hills, and ahem, right past some of our favourite cafes. No time for stopping on this whistlestop tour though. You'll need to keep up the pace to get all the way around this 102 mile wonder ride. Including the majesty of the Mendips, the Quality of the Quantocks, the Exquisiteness of Exmoor, and the ... oh you know - the downright dastardly final climb up on to the Blackdowns - this is a true test of grit and determination. Four classic ranges of hills, and some truly epic riding...

We shall assemble in the picturesque village of North Curry in Somerset, only a stonesthrow from Taunton, at 07:30 on Sunday morning. Here we shall register, prep. our bikes, and get ready to ride. After our ride briefing, its out and on to the course. Grand Tour Cycling will supply support vehicles on the course, riding leaders in attendance on the course, and 2 feed stations. You will be timed on the course, and event timings will be published on the web on completion of the event. Our waymarking is careful and copious - so it should give you ample opportunity to savour the course, and those climbs without getting lost. But of course - you must stay alert - just a moments lapse of concentration could see you missing a junction! This ride takes in 4 main climbs over 4 main ranges of hills - and is a true test - epic in every way

In conjunction with Grand Tour Cycling - www.grandtourcycling.co.uk We think Somerset offers some of the finest riding in the country... what do you think?
