Approx.  45km (28 mile), this is a cross country ride with nearly 1000m of ascent for medium to advanced riders covering a considerable distance in the Cotswolds with some longer steeper hills and possible some overgrown trails so long sleeves and trousers/leggings may be useful.

Bring plenty of snacks and drinks, spares and tools for trail repairs, and consider clothing – take a look at the weather forecast and brings layers, or indeed sun cream to suit! There are limited if any cafes or shops on route, however there is a pub at the meeting point! There may be a café but it depends on progress.
