The 2024 Cotswold Spring Classic is now open for entries, the perfect way to kick start your sportive season with a ride through the stunning Cotswold countryside on Easter Monday. The ideal way to burn off that Easter chocolate (before we give you some more on the finish line!!) and set yourself up for a summer of rides.

We've worked hard to keep the entry cost down to just £39.00 per person (or £35.00 if you're quick and one of the first 100 people to enter) without cutting corners so we can give you the best event experience possible. The sportive offers three route options (160km, 100km and 55km) through some of the best countryside the Cotswolds have to offer, meaning there's something for everyone. And if you want to test yourself, keep an eye out for details of the new "Brutal Loop" that we'll be adding in to the 160km route option!!

The 55km route gives riders new to the sport, or getting back on the bike after the long winter, the perfect first ride back. And if you're planning on riding either the 100km or 160km events you won't need to decide on the route you're taking until you get to the split point on the day.

Each route will be comprehensively signed, with well-stocked feed stations out on the route (one for the 55km and 100km routes and two for the 160km route), motorcycle outrider support, medical cover from the GWAS Independent Ambulance Service and mechanical support from Performance Cycles (at the start, each feed station and also in a support car out on the road).

Once back from the ride, riders can expect a finishers medal, a goodie bag (complete with the all-important Easter Egg!!), hot food and showers / changing facilities*. Add to this the ample free parking, electronic timing and sign-on goodies, and at just £39.00 per rider it stacks up to a great value day in the saddle!!

The Cotswold Spring Classic sold out its 1,000 rider capacity in 2022 (as it has for many years) and we had to reduce numbers last year due to a restriction without parking, so don't hang about - get your entry in now and set yourself up for a fantastic summer of riding in 2024.

If you've not ridden one of our events before, below are just a handful of comments we've had from riders over the last couple of years, and a pretty cool video put together by one rider that captures what our events are all about...
