Day one, Saturday 19th May will have 25, 50, 75 and The Paul Ties 100 mile routes. Day one and two (Sunday 20th May) will be adventure days with the chance for riders, their family and friends to enjoy wildlife trips with Falcon Boats and or activities with Preseli Venture. Please check out the ‘Things to do’ page on this website, you can book as you make your entry or by emailing us.
The Tour really encapsulates all that’s great about cycling; endless quiet country roads, breath-taking coastal scenery, challenging climbs, swooping descents and feed-stations with a magical atmosphere that showcase local produce.
It’s no surprise that the Tour has some big name sponsors and was described by Chris Boardman MBE, who rode it in 2015 as a superb, really enjoyable event.
We are delighted to have appointed Results Base to manage the event’s entry and timing systems. Their on-line entry is very user friendly and their timing system utilises a helmet chip.
On the start line with Chris Boardman MBE and Jamie Mitchell
