Great Western Sportive

Peddle Up!

I'm doing the Great Western Sportive Sunday week (provided the knee holds up :? ).

Did anyone do this last year? Some feedback on the route, organisation etc. would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Signed up on the day and what a fantastic day out

Think its fair to say we got lucky with the weather but thoroughly enjoyed the route, organisation was slick, signage excellent although some locals thought it was fun to remove a few arrows Only stopped at the middle feedstop and all seemed good although I don't rely on food stuffs myself !

At the finish you could view your ride stats on a screen and recieved a voucher for FREE (ok included in entry price) 'T' shirt, Muffin and drink 8) Thanks to the organiser and Team !!

Haven't done so many Sportives this year but great to see so many ladies riding :P

Last prep ride for me before I set off for Italy for the Maratona dles Dolomites in 2 weeks YAY

Agreed, it was a brilliant day. The weather helped, of course, but the excellent route taking in some much of the varied "chalk and cheese" countryside was a pleasure to ride. Top-notch signage and organisation make it one for next year's diary.

Now if only I could ride faster...
