The third edition of the Malvern Views sportive takes place on Sunday May 18. The spectacular well thought out route takes in the Malvern Hills as it winds its way on quiet country lanes around the three counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

There are two route options this year of 100km and a shorter 65km. The longer challenge route has six featured climbs totalling over 1400 metres, the toughest one being the 1:6 climb of Evendine Lane in the Malvern Hills.

The short route is still a good test of fitness with around half the amount of climbing of the long route.

Riders can refuel on both circuits at a well-stocked feed station about half way before continuing back to the HQ at Newent, Gloucestershire.
