The Great Western Sportive
The Great Western Sportive has established itself as a must do event since it's launch in 2010! A fantastic route that fits perfectly into our 'riders rides' ethos, with a full 100 mile top distance and a huge 1,000 rider capacity, This ride is big every sense! And the new May date will make this a real late spring treat!
Rolling across the ancient Ridgeway and winding through the beautiful Marlborough Downs, the route is a real treat, with broad, open roads echoing the sweep of the scenery. The folds of the Downs provide the gradients to put you to the test, but this is a ride to reward you for every challenge, not beat you relentlessly into submission. A riders ride, if you will.
Enough for what?

Chapeau. That is truly epic.
Recognising and creating locations where people feel safe to cycle in traffic is a key part to transforming our transport systems - and indeed...
If they don't, then for ~£150-£200 you can buy a cheap registration and transfer it.
