Team GB Paralympian Mel Nicholls will start Gloucestershire’s stage of the Women’s Tour in her hometown of Tewkesbury.

Stage three of the race will begin in Tewkesbury High Street and finish on Southgate Street in Gloucester, after a challenging route through the Forest of Dean.

There are plenty of events and activities that will be on show at the start and finish of the race to keep crowds entertained.

The race will start in Tewkesbury at 11am and is due to finish in Gloucester at around 2pm. Events will take place from 9.15am until the start of the race in Tewkesbury, and are due to run from 12pm until 4pm in Gloucester

In Tewkesbury

Hand cycling athlete Mel Nicholls, who competed at the London 2012 Paralympics, will be at the start in Tewkesbury.

Street entertainers, including Thomas Trilby, will be appearing in Tewkesbury before the stage start, with unicyclists riding around the start area before the race leaves the market town.

In Gloucester

Sports broadcaster Jill Douglas will be on hand to welcome the riders at the stage finish in Gloucester Docks. 

A BMX stunt team will showcase their skills in Gloucester, alongside a unicycle skills workshop.

They will be joined by smoothie bikes, which challenge riders to use pedal power to blend their smoothie, and Action Wheels, which gives the chance for younger children to race around a track and try out balance bikes.

There will also be a host of community cycling stands at both the start and finish.

Get involved

The start and finish of both races will be separated by a little over ten miles, allowing fans to easily attend both on race day.
