Wye Valley Brewery Sportive

Sun 31st August 2025

A group of people sitting and standing outside Wye Valley Brewery. Some are cyclists in gear, with bikes nearby. Others are seated at tables enjoying drinks. The building is white with black accents and has a sign with the brewery's logo. The sky is cloudy. Three cyclists wearing helmets and colorful cycling gear ride together on a quiet road surrounded by lush greenery. The road curves slightly to the left, and the cyclists appear focused on their ride. A signpost is partially visible on the right side of the image. A group of cyclists wearing various colorful gear gather outside a rustic brick building with a wooden porch roof. Bicycles are parked nearby, and some cyclists are chatting or adjusting their gear. A sign in the background indicates a direction to Putley Church. A cyclist rides along a curving rural road bordered by lush green hedges and fields. A few red brick houses and large trees are visible on the left side of the road, with rolling hills in the distant background under a cloudy sky. Two cyclists in white helmets and matching jerseys ride on a narrow country road surrounded by greenery and trees. They gesture with thumbs up and are smiling. Hills and a clear sky are in the background, creating a scenic route.

Organiser's Description

This late season sportive, set in the beautiful rolling Herefordshire countryside between the Malverns and the Wye Valley, is a fantastic adventure, from one of the best breweries in the West Midlands. With two scenic routes to choose from - 60km (37 miles) and 85 km (53 miles) - this sportive is for everyone!

These stunning routes are set in an area labelled the 'Hop Shires', and take riders along quiet Herefordshire lanes, around the verdant local landscape with plenty to admire in the distinctive red soils, hop farms, apple orchards and views of Hay Bluff and the distant Welsh mountains.

After tracking the route of the River Wye, the longer ride skirts the Much Marcle ridge before heading up towards the Malvern Hills, the inspiration behind many of the works by Edward Elgar, not least of all the rousing Land of Hope & Glory.

Really well organised sportif! Loved riding on country lanes, taking in the beautiful country side. Some though climbs on route and grateful for the feed stations which had all one needed! Thank you to all!

The roads on the first half of route were atrocious however the second half was great ! Lovely staff from Let's Go Velo although the 2nd feed station run out of electrolyte which was dissapointing. The food was sold out and wrapped up early at the brewery and I got the impression they weren't really arsed about the event.
Hi Peter, We create routes that concentrate on country lanes with low traffic and this can lead to some of the roads being a bit more worn than your typical B roads. We always try to have full stocked food station but can not always guarantee that everything will be available as some cyclists take more than others. Again this is the same for catering at each oil our events. I feel this review is a little harsh as we put so much effort into each event as this review does not reflect that.
