"Just wanted to say thanks for the Wiltshire Big Wheel yesterday - really appreciated the organisation, cheery marshals, etc etc. Despite the rain we had a great time and shall be signing up for another one of your events soon." E. I.

‘Excellent route by @BikeEventsTeam round the stunning Wiltshire countryside today.’ D.A

A choice of two exciting routes, both starting and finishing in the historic market town of Devizes.

Both set off east through the Vale of Pewsey, the scenic 45 mile route heads on through Savernake Forest to the historic market town of Marlborough. Finishing off with a climb over the ridgeway and back into the Vale of Pewsey to the Finish. The 12 mile family route stays within the Vale with a stop at All Cannings for a spot of lunch.
