Description

Back for 2025, a '5 Star Reviewed' 53k Audax event, starting from Warmley Waiting Room.

Includes free finishers' rectangular route map patch for all riders.

Starting from Warmley Waiting Room opening early for Hot Drinks/Rolls.

A lovely 53km ride with so much to see and enjoy with 37km of cycle paths.

Starting on the Bristol to Bath Cycle path you will pass along the Avon Valley Railway before climbing up and riding through one of Bath's best-kept secrets and considered one of Severn Cycle Wonders of the World - The iconic Two Tunnels @ 1.03 miles in length it is the longest cycling tunnel in the UK.

As you continue along the Greenway Cycle Path you will have fine views of the Cotswold Countryside and the Gothic Style Midford Castle.

A short climb up to the edge of the Cotswolds before a canal-side cafe stop. A short canal path section follows over the Dundas Aqueduct then a steady climb past the American museum before dropping down into the Beautiful city of Bath.

Back onto the Riverside cycle path brings you back to Warmley for a well-deserved coffee and cake.

LAST EVENT FEEDBACK REVIEW - MARCH 2023 - 5 STARS
Thank you Ollie for running the event. Not being a local or a GPX user ( too old to understand) on occasions I had to rely on the good auspices of fellow riders to stay on the correct route. However it was a fantastic day, great views , wonderful cafes and as I said very well organised

Two Tunnels event patch available for purchase for £2.00
