The Great Western Sportive
Swindon
17 May
http://www.southernsportive.com/index.php?go=gwestern#

The Great Western Sportive is one of the most popular sportives on the calendar. The fantastic route on nearly traffic free roads has been a favourite with riders and press alike, and with a full 100 mile top distance and a huge rider capacity this ride is big every sense.

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.
