Overview
Description
Begin the Shifty 200 by heading west through the centre of Bristol and out across Kenn Moor to Yatton to collect your first proof of passage. Back east you go to the north of The Mendips through Somerset to Westbury for control 2. Round the northern edge of Salisbury Plain then across the Vale of Pewsey and up Milk Hill for a cracking long gradual descent to Marlborough and PoP 3. Over Hackpen Hill the other way and across the Avon Valley to Malmesbury for your final control. An easy ride back to the Cotswold escarpment before back into Bristol.
Reviews
What others think.
Well organised ride with welcoming controls
I was grateful for the 7am start and the cycling routes in Bristol to clear the city before the morning commute began. We were made welcome in Yatton.
There are wonderful countryside vistas on the way to Westbury. The towns of Marlborough and Malmesbury are very attractive. The ride back to Bristol seemed to be a long climb into the wind, while the descent into Bristol on cycle routes was sheltered. We arrived back at headquarters where Will congratulated us for finishing.
I will do this ride again next year
Lovely mid-week adventure
The weather gods smiled on us again as we rolled out of Bristol on the Shifty 200. A fantastic ride with easy controls and a varied and spectacular route. Many thanks Will for helping us busy weekenders out with this mid-week special!
Greate Route, Magnificent (and superstar) organiser
A tough day > night > day ! Made to feel very welcome. Incredible how much time Will gives to organise the events and put himself out to help others. Thank You !
Great route and faultless organisation
A series of midweek events is perfect for those of us who struggle to get away at the weekends and I’m hugely grateful to the organizer. The event ran just as smoothly as you’d expect based on the user friendliness of this website and the route was great – challenging without being daft and lots of smaller roads through an area of the country that I was not as all familiar with. Route cards and gpx were spot on, as was the friendly welcome on my return to the hq. Weather was dreadful, but you can’t have it all! I’ll be back for more later in the year ?
