Description
A beautiful full-day's riding in some of the most picturesque countryside the Cotswolds has to offer! Our ride leaders and other members have ridden this route multiple times, and have settled on a route that is challenging but doable as a group!
The ride starts and ends in Stratford-upon-Avon, and loops around the north Cotswolds. It includes a mix of terrains, such as a few climbs and their corresponding descents, but it is overall a gently rolling, pretty ride. The day is broken into four sections, punctuated by a mid-morning snack stop, a picnic lunch, and an afternoon water break. And if you're still standing at the end, dinner and drinks in the lovely town of Stratford is on the cards!

Costs & fundraising
The entrance fee is £25. This fee covers the basic costs of running the event (such as food, water, and backup vehicle hire). The fee is non-refundable.
Given that this event is short in nature and may be used as a training ride for our longer routes, you do not need to commit to additional fundraising targets for this ride.
Please note that Cycle4Good is a non-profit organization — all of our staff are volunteers and no-one is paid anything out of your entrance fee. After all costs have been met, any surplus funds from all riders' entrance fees will be donated to our supported charities.
