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.
We keep on being told that cyclists should take a test, carry insurance etc. THe Highway Code is explicit in its instruction to both drivers here....

Have you thought about doing your own respray? I did my old Cube, using "Spray.bike" powder coat rattle cans. I was really pleased with the results.
Well... the 'A' in CdA stands for area, so of course you can make a tiny, tiny bike and claim that it is more aerodynamic. That doesn't mean it is...
Hmm... not up-to-date with the funding / business model of Lime but most previous dockless bike systems I've been aware of were seem to be at best...
Reminds me of Cold War Steve's video for Sleaford Mods...
I have a couple of head torches, but they look like this Nicely angled down so you can see where you are treading.
I think that part of the reason for the limited mount is that the shaped 'road' beam means that it can't be mounted upside down, otherwise you'd...
Thanks for posting. Have signed as well and pleased to see it's over 100,000 so it will at least be raised....
