Doing the Tour of Wessex again this year and also the Tour of Ireland. These are both multi-day sportives and thought it would be interesting to see if there are other multi-day events out there. After all if you take the trouble to go somewhere to ride a sportive why not do it for several days rather than just ride and come back.
So put a post up on Bike Radar and got some interesting replies.
Here is list to date. I have made a guess as to whether event is a sportive or tour (former meaning lots of riders, timed). All look very interesting and already thinking about 2009 and possible change of 2008 plans to do the Oisans event in July.
