- the longest off-road, coast-to-coast ride in Engl&, comprising a week`s trail-blazing that traverses the breadth of the ancient kingdom to which it is dedicated. Yet it is far from being tough. Although one of the longer routes it’s also one of the easiest. No need for you to be a free-ride whiz-kid, pulling wheelies on a whim, bunny-hopping boulders with the greatest of ease & taking air like a Red Arrow pilot on a practice sortie. 250 miles at a steady 700’ across southern Engl&, over sumptuous, undulating landscapes make this ride a uniquely scenic experience. In the summer, in the dry, a fit rider could blitz the Wessex Way in four or five days, but in a wet winter the same rider may take a full week.
