The Tour Series is a unique, team-based city centre cycling competition.

The Salisbury race is the penultimate event of the season, but marked the Army’s first appearance.

In their debut, the team had two riders in the top 40 in Mark Robertson and James Bevan.

Thank you @tourSeries #Salisbury @wiltscouncil for support and encouragement to our Road ACRT last night.

The riders were all made to feel truly welcome and could hear the cheers of encouragement from the crowds.

Fantastic atmosphere and organisation.#InspiringSoldiersToCycle
