Rather a nice route from the train station into town

Great place to grab a coffee and get a snack. Offers lots of vegan and gluten free options as well.

It rains

Depending on the direction, this can either be a climb or an enjoyable downhill section of off-road singletrack shaded by trees.

This bridge is located along the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal and connects the Purton area to the wider canal system. It is a swing bridge with a control room operated by a keeper to manage its movements. The Purton site also features a historic boat graveyard, where old ship hulls were used to reinforce the canal embankment,

while mostly rideable, the bit between Purton and Slimbridge can be a bit rough and ready and I struggled on my road bike, but then I was a bit silly taking it here in the first place.

A fine country pub in the beautifully quiet Sheepscombe village. Perfect for a mid ride refreshment. Pairs well with the Cherry Glade Campsite should you decide to end your ride here.

Guiting Power is a quintessentially Cotswolds village with a superb pub and cafe to take a break. The village green is a fine spot to take in some rays if the sun is out.

the black swam

Guiting Power is yet another stunning village located in the heart of the north Cotswold country. The village features an old post office, a medieval church & a great pub, The Hollow Bottom.

Fast, straight and nothing technical. Fun all year round!

Wonderful smooth path, the best thing about Cheltenham

Pretty brutal. Nice way to get out of Cheltneham that avoids the A40

Food was excellent but took an age to arrive as cafe was far too busy - need to avoid Saturdays in future

A scenic stretch of the ride alongside the River Severn. A great place to spot vast flocks of birds over the water.

The Anchor Inn serves drinks, snacks and traditional pub food. Open 11:30 - 22:00.

Nice location to unwind

Fantastic climb from Sheepscombe up to the B4070 near Fostons Ash Inn. The woodland is stunning and peaceful. The climb can be a bit steep in places, especially the last section, and will be particularly challenging in the wet.

A brilliant gravel descent into Sheepscombe. Lovely scenery. The climb would be hard, but eminently doable in the other direction... the last 200m is quite steep.

Excellent choice of Ales 🍺
