Apologies if you are all already aware of this! Just wanted to let you all know about The Tour of Britain cycle race which will be passing through your village on Tuesday 14 September 2010. Hopefully you will have heard about this via the local press but just wanted to pass the message on.
The Tour of Britain is basically the UK's equivalent of the Tour de France. It will hopefully bring lots of tourists to the region and will also be a great opportunity for communities to pull together and maybe host cycling related/ general events in the build up to the race passing through.
The race is starting in Minehead and they are well on their way with planning some activities etc which is great - but its not just about the big towns - we want everyone along the route to be involved and feel part of the day!
Anyway, if you would like any more info about how to get involved or what the race is etc, I will check back here or please email me at rmusto@somerset.gov.uk.
Thanks for listening,
Rebecca Musto
