2026
This season’s event is on 4th January 2026. On the day entry is available (cards taken).
Our event is one week before the National Championships so, as last year, we will be designing a fast but technical course, in order to help prepare the legs for the following week.
Technical Guide (including course maps):
We’ll post a video of this year’s course on Saturday 3rd January. In the meantime, keep an eye on the Wessex League Facebook page, and here’s a video of last year’s race (we will use essentially the same course this year).
Please email alex@howtorideabike.co.uk with any questions.
