This ever popular classic event promoted jointly by Winchcombe CC and Cheltenham & County CC will be held on Sunday 5th April 2009 starting from the picturesque Cotswold Town of Winchcombe with a mass start of riders at 09-00 hrs.
Last year the event attracted over 1000 riders and as 2009 is the Silver Anniversary (twenty fifth year) of the event, there will be a special commemorative medal awarded to all riders who successfully complete the course.
Route
There will be a 100Km route for the really keen riders and a 50Km route for those who know how tough the off-road Cotswold Hills can be! The routes will be handed out in the form of written instructions, on a printed map and will also be available as a digital Tracklogs GPS route. The event will use a classic route consisting of tarmac roads and bridleways including everything from technical rocky single track to rutted possibly muddy tracks and will offer a challenge to all levels of rider. Refreshments will be available at approximately half distance.
