Day 1: Bristol to Oxford
We will gather at St Peter's Hospice for event registration and a safety briefing, where our team will cheer and wave you off on your journey! We commence cycling following alongside the M4 through the Cotswolds AONB, uphill through the village of Hinton. From Hinton we begin to head downhill again before reaching Nettleton and heading in a more northerly direction across the M4 for our first water stop. Our route continues through undulating English countryside past Malmesbury and Purton to our lunch stop on the outskirts of Swindon. Our afternoon's cycling continues with the same undulations and now familiar English countryside as we make our approach to Oxford to our first night's hotel. Cycling distance – approx. 75 miles.
Day 2: Oxford to Bishops Stortford
Today's cycle takes us due east as we make our way towards Bishops Stortford. There is more undulation as we pass through the Chiltern Hills AONB. From Oxford we head toward Thame and Princes Risborough where we will have our first stop of the day and from here we head to lunch on the outskirts of St Albans. Our afternoon's cycling follows the same picturesque English countryside and quiet country lanes as we pass through Hertford, Ware, Wareside and then make our final approach to Bishops Stortford to overnight. Cycling distance – approx. 80 miles.
