Taking place on Easter Monday (21st April 2014) and based from Cirencester - the heart of the Cotswolds and Roman capital of Britain - the Cotswold Spring Classic takes in some of the best roads in the South West. Giving you a taste of truly classic Cotswold countryside and some of the most feared climbs in the area, before riders head for the Stroud Valley.
On the day, riders are able to choose from three routes of either 50km, 105km or 105 miles (170km), with approx. 1,071 and 1,667 meters of climbing respectively in the mid and long routes (TBC). This early season test is a great way to round off the Easter weekend, and will give those riding the etape or other big sportives later in the year a real confidence boost - or not!!
The ride will be comprehensively signed, include neutral service (provided once again by Performance Cycles - both at the feed stations and out on the road), the dreaded broom wagon, chip timing, NEG outriders and a good supply of food at the manned feed stations on route. A team of top photographers will also be on hand to capture you at your best - probably near the top of a climb!!
Costing just £24.50 per person (plus British Cyclings £1 per entry admin fee), entry is limited to just 600 places (down from the sell-out 750 of previous years, due to restricted parking at the college) - so book early to avoid disappointment.
