I WOULD like to commend the organisers of the recent Cycle Wiltshire event.

As a participant in the sportive I found it to be an incredibly well organised and thoroughly enjoyable experience for the whole family.

The organisers did a fabulous job and I really hope this becomes a regular event. The pro race through Wilton on Sunday was a great way for people who had never before seen a professional cycle race to experience it.

Getting up close to a fast paced and exciting spectacle like this is an unforgettable experience.

I know it may have caused a bit of disruption to the normal lives of the residents of Wilton and surrounding area but it showcased the town brilliantly.

It also gave local people a taste of a major sporting event on their doorstep. I hope this is the first of many such events in our area.
