10 of the finest sportives to satisfy your thirst for miles, whatever your ability

VELOTHON WALES 8 July 2018 Cardiff, Wales Velothon Wales is a rare chance to tackle the entire length of a sportive on completely closed roads. That will give you ample opportunity to suck in the breathtaking views of the Brecon Beacons and Bristol Channel – if, of course, you can see through the streams of sweat. There are three distances on offer – 140km, 125km and, new for 2018, 60km – but whichever race gauntlet you pick up, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable reception from the enthusiastic Welsh crowds. velothon.com
