THE COTSWOLDS 100 SPORTIVE –

NOW IN ITS 8th YEAR!

ABOUT

Description

Starting and finishing TBC, this scenic sportive takes riders through some of the most stunning roads and landscapes the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has to offer, with a choice of two fully signed and supported routes.

Designed to showcase one of the UK’s finest cycling regions, the route winds through rolling countryside, charming villages and classic Cotswold scenery, creating a ride that is as rewarding as it is memorable.

Rather than being an all-out test of speed, this event is aimed at riders looking for a relaxed and enjoyable day in the saddle. Whether you are riding for the scenery, the atmosphere or simply the pleasure of being on the bike, the Cotswolds provide the perfect setting.

Riders can choose from:

🚴 Long Route – 166 km (101 miles)
🚴 Medium Route – 104 km (64 miles)

Whichever route you choose, this is a fantastic opportunity to tick off that coveted “100” and continue your 2027 cycling season with an unforgettable ride.

No matter your ability, this is a friendly and welcoming sportive.

THIS EVENT IS FULLY SUPPORTED WITH MARKED ROUTES, INCLUDING MECHANICAL AND MEDICAL SUPPORT.
