Experienced riders only, mainly quiet roads, care needed on descents.
Enjoy warm up before the first climb out of Mickleton.
Major climbs/descents inc Dovers hill, Saintbury, Willersey, Snowshill (50+mph)and a short section of the Fish.
Check brakes are tip top for the descents.
Estimated ride time between 4-7hrs, forget the distance, these climbs take thier toll.
Advisable gearing 50/25
Should you find the going too tough there is an alternative route along the base of the Cotswolds linking the climbs.
If you enjoy climbing this is a great ride. |
