Cotswolds Centuries

Friday  6 - Sunday 8 June

We’re off to the Cotswolds!

BCC have been planning rides up to the Cotswolds since the 30’s…and we’re heading back to a beautiful part of England for our 2025 tour.

This time we are arranging for bags…and bikes to be transported from Balham to our base in Witney on the Friday, then returned on Sunday. All you need to do is make your way to Witney on Friday afternoon/evening. We will all then be fresh for Saturday morning.

Friday. Bring your bike and drop your bag 7.30 - 9.00am BHP. We have taken over the Witney Premier Inn as our base for the weekend. Check-in opens at 3pm and your bike and kit will be waiting for you there. We are planning an ‘Aperitivo’ ride departing 4ish for a spin and a taste of the Cotswolds countryside. Dinner will be freeform, we will share a list of options nearer the time.

Saturday will be a choice of Century rides, imperial and metric, through the Cotswolds landscape and picturesque villages and back in Witney where we will have a celebratory dinner together. Check out the routes below

Imperial Century Route
Metric Century Route

Sunday will be a leisurely start and a ride in the fabulously flat countryside of the Thames headwaters before returning to Witney ...then making our way home.

Trip cost will include:

Accommodation: Friday, Saturday nights.
Saturday - Lunch & a coffee stop.
Saturday night dinner.
Sunday  - Coffee stop.
ICE ride support
Bike & Bag transfer.

The cost of the trip is based on two sharing and will depend on final numbers but please budget on £300/£350.

To secure a space on the 2025  Summer Tour please add your name to the Sign-on sheet and arrange a £50 deposit.

Next June all you need to do is get yourself to Witney - trains from Paddington to Hanborough, then a short cab ride to Witney ...or car-pool from Balham.

This doesn’t rule out the option to ride up to Witney on the Friday, however this would be self-led and unsupported.
