The Cotswold Spring Classic returns for it's 11th anniversary in 2020, bigger and better than ever.
Costing just £32.00 to enter, the sportive offers three route options (160km, 100km and 55km) through some of the best countryside the Cotswolds have to offer, meaning there's something for everyone. The 55km route gives riders new to the sport, or getting back on the bike after the long winter, the perfect first ride back. And if you're planning on riding either the 100km or 160km events you won't need to decide on the route you're taking until you get to the split point on the day.
Each route will be comprehensively signed, with well stocked feed stations out on the route (one for the 55km and 100km routes and two for the 160km route), motorcycle outrider support, medical cover from the Wilts Ambulance Service and mechanical support from Performance Cycles (at the start, each feed station and also in a support car out on the road).
Once back from the ride, riders can expect a finishers medal, a goodie bag (complete with the all-important Easter Egg!!), hot food and showers / changing facilities. Add to this the ample free parking, electronic timing and sign-on goodies, and at just £29.50 per rider it stacks up to a great value day in the saddle!!
The Cotswold Spring Classic has sold out every year for the last nine years, even with a massive 25% increase in capacity in 2016 to 1,000 riders. For 2020 we're sticking to a maximum of 1,000 riders. So don't delay, get your entry in now.
