Route information
Short
The Short is an ideal opportunity if you are new to Sportive riding or you just want a nice easy ride, great for a family ride, we are happy for children 14 and Under to attend for FREE, as long as they are accompanied with an paying adult (One adult/one child per entry).
Medium
This medium route for 40 miles is a nice flat affair other than 3 very small climbs (Really they are small), so it could be a quick pace but the ride is more about adding another dimension to your training, its not necessarily about speed ,its about putting those longer miles into the legs.
There are a few tests towards the end of the ride in the shape of some nice climbs that will need some effort.
Long
The long route isn't a leg burner, but it will include the iconic climb through Cheddar Gorge, being an early season sportive, its more about testing where you are after your winter training, but it would be wrong not to include the climb, the cut of times are there for the safety of both the riders and the sanity off the staff.
Be under no illusion the long route will still test you, its long with an iconic climb and the last 20 miles include a few more climbs just in case you haven't worked hard enough.With 3 Aid stations for the long and 2 for the medium, we will refuel you, all you need do is enjoy the day.

Did the race in 2019
scenic course with just a few poor quality stretches of tarmac. well organised with good signage, except for a couple of signs for turnings right on the turn or one hidden by a bush. excellent food stops. low numbers of riders so not a great atmosphere. all in all, friendly, well organised and one to do again - well done to the organisers

Did the race in 2019
Roads were muddy in places, but good overall. Great training ride. Some signage could have been more obvious, but again was very good most of the way round. Very handy that the map was available to download prior to the race

Did the race in 2019
Course was well-signposted, with only a few junctions without signs. The checkin arrangements were poor, with no one on the desks whilst 20+ people were waiting then the organiser arrived and berated people for signing in themselves and taking their numbers. The information about the broom wagon was also poor advising that they would stop the long race at 3pm and no prior information on the event closing at 4pm.
