The 50 Km course leads out of Devizes on the same roads as the 100 Km route across the Vale of  Pewsey until you reach the village of Alton Barnes. Here you continue straight on over the first of two easier climbs that you will ride on this route and through the village of Alton Priors then on too West Stowell, Oare and Pewsey. In Oare you link up once more with the 100 Km riders to the feed station at Pewsey. You stay with the longer route riders for a further ….Km. through Mannington Bruce,  Bottlesford and Patney. Here you once again leave the longer route turning right towards All Cannings before turning left to Etchilhampton and the final climb of the day before you descend down towards

Devizes.
