The Tour of Britain
Route description / Accommodation
Last year 70,000 turned out on a gloriously sunny day to watch the 112 riders from around the world racing from sea level to cliff top in minutes, all chasing that coveted yellow jersey.
The 2009 race sees two stages in the South West on the 17th and 18th September.
The two race routes will cover a total of 346kms and pass through a number of towns and villages in Somerset and Devon. 96 internationally elite cyclists, including a Great Britain team, will tackle six gruelling climbs through the picturesque landscape of the two counties.
Day 6 of this 8 day race starts in Frome passing Dulverton and Simonsbath on the way to Bideford with day 7 from Hatherleigh to Yeovil.

Active Exmoor secured the race for Exmoor back in 2006 with help from the ENPA's Sustainable Development Fund provided by DEFRA and SWERDA, and works with the Somerset County Council to bring you a spectacular day out!
