Andover Cycling Festival Cycle Sportives return for its 7th year, with some new routes for ride distances of 85,50 and 15 miles.

The 85 and 50 mile routes travel northwest , touching the edge of Salisbury Plain, before a pleasant route on many quiet lanes through the Vale of Pewsey. The 85 mile route meanders across to Devizes before connecting again with the 50 mile route in Pewsey. No major climbs on the ride , mostly undulating and flat. One final climb up to the Chute Causeway before the final 10 miles downhill back to Andover.

The 15 mile route uses an old favourite north of Andover, through the lanes and up to Tangley Village, for a refreshment stop before returning to Andover
