The Great Western Sportive

Cycle Sportive , Swindon – Sunday, 16 Jun 2013

Entry powered by British Cycling
Registered Sportive

Event Summary

Event Overview

The Great Western Sportive launched in 2010 to provide an epic premier event in the heart of the south. With a full 100 mile top distance and a huge 2,000 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. A rider’s ride, if you will.
