Sunday 17th October 2010

Starting and finishing at the famous Castle Combe Motor Racing Circuit near Chippenham, the Severn Bridge Sportive promises to be a serious test to any rider and a great way to round of a sportive season. Crossing the South West edge of the Cotswolds before plummeting down into The Severn Valley, heading over the Severn itself and then facing the stiff climbs in the Forest of Dean. The route re-crosses the River Severn via the old Severn, returning to Castle Combe for a distance of just over 100 miles.
