Re: Retrobike National Road Series Rd 7: Cotswolds ~ 02/11/1
Yepp, just as well we did the recce as the last 20k loop was probably a bit ambitious so we have shortened the route but added a summit finish for all those who want to emulate Pantani (Sherbet dibdabs will be available at the bottom of the climb for anyone who wants to powder their nose).
This is the route:

Dave needs to find a cafe in Camden as we found the Broadway tower one a bit too far into the route.
I would recommend that folks come with a nice bottom gear (a 42x23 combo is going to be blinking tough and may need to be matched by a nice pair of walking shoes
) and please check your brakes beforehand as there are some fast descents which will need some care due to inverse cambers, etc.

The descent into Winchcombe will be fun. Part of my regular loop. Fortunately I shall be in a box at Watford watching Leicester City beat them after a good lunch. Otherwise would have done the first bit to there after being dropped off..
Have a good one. Hope the weather is kind.
