The Great Western Sportive
Swindon
17 May

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.
