SALT AND COTSWOLDS

Description

212km cycling event starting from Droitwich Spa. Controls at Tewkesbury, Witney, Shipston-On-Stour and Droitwich Spa., plus 2 information controls.

An autumn audax to the Cotswolds from briney Droitwich. It is a x'rated event, so minimal facilities but with plenty of fun for all. Facilities may be basic but the route will be great and so will the riders.

A journey off to the Cotswolds, all being well after the second lock down. Flattish first and final thirds with the hilly Cotswolds in the middle but nothing too ridiculous.

In mid_November, there will be fewer tourists cluttering the lanes of the Cotswolds, so enjoy the peace. The first section is an easy trundle to Tewkesbury before swinging into the Cotswolds via the assault up Suddeley Bank. After which is ups and downs via Witney. The return section from Shipston is not too challenging.

There are plenty of cafe stop opportunities on route.

E Brevet available for proof of passage.
