What is Ride the Trafalgar Way?

Ride the Trafalgar Way Event Director, Jim Bellinger, is a former regular Salisbury RFC 1st XV player and professionally has been the route manager for 2014 Tour de France Grand Depart - Stage 1, Velothon Wales and Velo Birmingham. 

Ride the Trafalgar Way is a celebration of a journey taken in 1805 by Lieutenant John Richards Lapenotière, when he carried dispatches about the news of the British victory at the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Admiral Nelson. Lapenotiere’s journey between Falmouth and the Admiralty, London was by horse and carriage and took 37 hours.
