Fancy a bike ride around the north Cotswolds, well this ones worth checking out. The route is a small section of the Cotswold 200 event coming up in September 2023. I’m filming the event so thought I’d checkout part of it that I’d not ridden before.
Lots of proper cotswolds villages in this route and worth a visit. Bare in mind, its not flat but if you take you time is all rideable.
The trails are a real mix of narrow singletrack and wide open cotswolds stone gravel. There’s plenty of fantastic views and plenty of places to catch a coffee and top up water bottles.

I like hearing the hum of the tires.
Thanks for the ride Graham! very beautiful and lots of fun for sure. Happy trails!😊
Caffeine withdrawal can do strange things to a man hehe! Seriosuly though, great vid anbd route looks really nice, downloaded on Komoot so I can give it a try next time i'm in the area. I find your vids to be a perfect combo of exciting and calming so keep up the good work! Nice to see your front wheel bridle gate opening technique is same as mine, complete with slight grunt of exasperation…. Also nettle flattening technique is 👌, last time i did that was with an 8.5 tonne telehandler, much more fun!
Nice way of showing us how well the Fat bike copes equally well with the rough and the smooth. Great watch 👍
