This is the 5th running of the Bath Cycling Club Cotswold League race. This year we are changing the course from the gently undulating Sherston course to the hillier and more challenging Stowey course.

Unfortunately there will be no Womens race this year, we will be looking at how to bring back the Womens race for next year.

The event is open to riders from all clubs. In the mens race priority is given to Cotswold League participating clubs and to teams from local clubs who promote events in the South region. If a final selection is still required this will be based on points and/or entrants who constitute more than one from the same club.

There are less riders from Cotswold League teams than there have been in previous years allowing a wider participation in the event.

Info for Riders

The HQ will be at the Bishop Sutton AFC.  The race will use the Stowey Course

Open road circuit of just over 10 km, for 8 laps.

The circuit has an 80m climb at the end of each lap, with the remainder of the circuit generally undulating; a race for those who like hillier terrain. The neutralised roll out from the HQ goes up the climb to start/finish at KM 0. 

The finish is uphill to the line at the top of the climb. Return to the HQ from the summit via a back lane (Sutton Hill Road) to avoid any contraflow with riders who remain on the course.
