Broughton Castle Sportive 2016
Event info
COTSWOLD MONSTER 100
160km / 100 miles
This Sportive route will be one of the most challenging rides you will complete all year.
The extremely well signed 'figure of eight' course takes in several classic climbs of the area including Nebsworth Lane, Snowshill and Butlers Lane but is also full of smaller notoriously leg sapping Cotswold lumps and bumps which the area is famous for in the cycling world.
Well stocked feed stations will be located at 30, 55 and 80 miles. This one really is for the serious cyclist. It's recommended that you train for this ride in order to complete the distance.
COTSWOLD CLASSIC 50
80km / 50 miles
A classic 50 mile route that twists and turns through stunning Cotswold scenery.
The route has been designed to incorporate several classic hill climbs including Nebsworth Lane climb near Illmington, before looping through Moreton in Marsh for the feed-station located at Cotswold Cycles shop.
This route is designed for the more regular cyclist who is accustomed to riding more challenging and hilly terrain. There will be a well stocked feed-station on this route at 30 miles.
COTSWOLD TOUR 20
32km / 20 miles
The Tour 20 route might suit people who are new to sportive cycling or a medium ability but who still want a good cycling challenge. which they can enjoy with other cyclists.
There are no really big hills on this route we promise, but by the nature of the terrain it will be a challenge if you've not done much cycling before.
The course winds its way through the Cotswold villages of Shutford and Epwell.
There will be one feed-station on the route at approximately half distance.

I suspect you are right. But no harm in hoping.
Apologies for the oversight there, it's been corrected. Obviously it should have said 97ft🤦♂️
The more this Nash gezzer opens his mouth the worse he comes across. The mans passion for green issues clouds his judgement on common decency!

I wasn't a bike geek or "serious" rider then (not now...) - my ride was a non-suspended 26" wheel "mountain bike" with V-brakes and piano key...
And, bonus, you can get rid of feed zones - just make them carry all their supplies in the basket.
