Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or looking for a new challenge, join us for a day of camaraderie, purpose, and impact. Together, we can make a difference.

Our charity partner for the inaugral Tour de Trowbridge event is Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity. All profits from the event will be donated to them, once the running costs have been accounted for. The charity provides vital critical medical care by land and air across Wiltshire and Bath. In effect it provides the same level of critical care as a hospital but brings the expert team and specialist equipment to people in need and does it as fast as humanly possible.

Routes

We have three great routes - 25, 46 and 79 miles - These are provisional routes that still need to be recce ridden and risk assessed, so are subject to change.
