This was one of my favourite events this year, and I'll definitely be doing it again next year.The first 2 days (102, 112miles) had lots of flat riding with just a few big hills, riding in a big group (because those doing all three days aren't busting a gut at the start) it's pretty easy to clock up some fast times. The third day goes over Exmoor with some monster climbs.
Very tough Gold, Silver, Bronze times; I got Bronze (but times are easier for veterans and women).
I camped at the start venue, luckily we had good weather and it was a really enjoyable weekend spent with other cyclists.
You can do 1,2 or 3 days and there's also a shorter version of the Day 1 route.
I'd recommend it!

I ''think'' I'd like to have a go at this one. Depends when it is of course, but if it fits in and I can get the training in I reckon it would be a fantastic thing to do. :-)

It wasn't that quick last year, you should have plenty of time, I didn't sign up till after Christmas last year.

OK, so I've just signed up for all three days of next year's ToW, they've got about 100 entrants so far.
I know Simon's going to do it, but who else is brave enough?!

Hi Mike,
Are you doing the full 3 days? Thought so. If you post a link I'll get it on the main website - might get a few more takers.
I might be interested in doing one day.
