Route options available at this venue:
Short - 15 miles
Medium - 25 miles
Long - 30 miles
Sunday Sportive Ride - 16th August
Route description: Leaving the start, we weave our way out of Wooton and head west and strike for the coast. Well, the River Severn anyway! A couple of miles riding along the banks and then we turn back and head into the Cotswolds. Riding on country lanes there are some spectacular views to be had, along with great climbs!! The area has a lot of Roman history and, as such, some long straights to put your head down and spin those legs.
Route options available at this venue:
Fun – 12 miles
Short – 30 miles
Medium – 60 miles
Long – 90 miles
