Avebury cycling?

This is very late notice, but heading down to Avebury/Wiltshire/Ridgeway area tomorrow and thought about taking the cycle.
Can anyone recommend good cycle routes/leaflets/websites around the prehistory?!

Sustrans NCN route 4 takes a diversion north at Melksham to take in the Chippenham-Calne railway path. Carry on eastwards following the signage towards Marlborough and you'll cycle right through Avebury.
If you've got a sturdy enough bike you can comfortably cycle the Ridgeway from the Sanctuary to Barbary Castle.
I was at Avebury for sunrise yesterday and then spent the day on the downs at the Polisher (photos to follow with a bit of luck) and on Mother's Jam. The Ridgeway was teeming with Mountain bikes.
NB. There's going to be a organised ride from Swindon along the Ridgeway next Sunday (I guess people were in training yesterday).
