The Cotswold Outing should be within the capabilities of most reasonably fit cyclists. The undulating route is divided into three roughly equal stages: the first and third through south Warwickshire, and the middle one skirting the northern fringe of the Cotswolds.
Good post-event food and light refreshments included.
Leafy rural lanes make the Cotswold Outing a peaceful morning's training for fit club riders, or a pleasant day out for those who like to take their time. The route includes excellent controls at Welford and Charlcote. There are also unofficial refreshment opportunities along the way for those who don't like queues. One stiff climb has been removed from last year's route to lower the participation threshold for older or less sporty riders. Anyone who doesn't want to linger at the controls is welcome to take our no-validation option.
