Does anyone know of any good clubs/want to ride in this area? Can't find anything to do cycling wise.

Wiltshire and Salisbury Plain... rather covers a big area. What side of the plain are you?

Andover

Salisbury

Devizes. Chippenham Wheelers may be the closest?

There used to be Westbury Wheelers, not sure if its still going. Anyone out there know?

Can you pick up the Wiltshire Cycleway. Bits are not well signposted, but there are very good rides to be found. The full route is a circular 160km, but there are shorter options. See if you can find a free map. I picked one up from my LBS. If not try a local tourist infomation centre, it may cost you £2 but its worth having.

There are a few options to be found on Sustrans website.

There's also a good sportive, not one of the really hard ones but good nontheless and well organised. You have missed it for this year, book early for next as it fills up (yes I have done it and would do so again - no I don't work for them)

Or if mtb is your thing try finding the Ridgeway (just mind those giant pot holes from the recreational 4x4 brigade).

Also, The Winter Challenge is a big event, not done it myself but those I know who have all enjoyed it.

... and not forgetting;

Swindon /Marlborough

The CTC also run the David Duffield Challenge. Great routes and quite simply the best food/drink stops I’ve ever seen. Starts and finishes in Corsham. Again, you have missed it for this year. Oh well, there’s always next year.
