This social sportive is set in the Buckinghamshire countryside, beginning at one of the county's most renowned breweries, the Vale Brewery. Situated in Aylesbury Vale, the family-owned brewery produces high-quality ales.
The routes will allow riders to enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside as they pass through charming English villages. Riders will be able to glimpse the towns and villages of North Marston, Edgcott and Brill, with its famous windmill and range of listed buildings.
As this course has less elevation than others, this is ideal for those new to the discipline or taking on their first sportive. All riders cycle the first 37-mile loop together, before the Full Pint riders continue on with their ride.
The event will conclude back at the brewery, where riders can sample some of the best ales available from their taproom.
