England : Gloucestershire Cotswolds Sportive

[C R]

The Cotswolds Sportive is taking place on the 13th of May.

Starts and finishes at Cheltenham Race Course, and takes in the Northwest edge of the Cotswolds and some of my usual routes in Southeast Worcestershire.

Anyone going?

The ripple from 40 to 60km looks brutal on the 160km route.

100km looks possible, but MiniBrumJim has a race on that day.

That ripple is hard, but could be worse in that area. I'm doing the 100km, which is only 800 or so metres of elevation, so not too hard.

Having done a few long distance off-road days round the Cotswolds, I'm surprised they've not adding a bit more climbing in to it, I seemed to be going up hill the whole time.

It does take more of the Worcestershire countryside than of the Cotswolds proper.
