E206 Not To B Or Too B (164.43km) 9

July 31, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 4:00 pm

2B or not 2B, our beginner 100 miler a few years ago was a huge success and resulted in several new riders reaching the century milestone. Since that initial running we have helped a few more reach the magic three figure distance. This year, for a change, we’re doing the route in reverse.

Designed to be as flat as possible the reversed route is still a good test of endurance without any nasty surprises (barring tourists in Stratford).

Starting from the club we head via Rushock to Droitwich and follow quiet roads through Drakes Broughton, Defford and Twyning on our way to the first stop in Tewkesbury (55km)

Leg 2 turns east as we cut between the hills past Prestcott hill climb and Stanley Pontlarge. Keeping the hills of the Cotswolds on our right we skirt Broadway and follow slightly busier A road north east to Stratford and our second stop (111km)

Leg 3 heads NW on quieter lanes past Alcester and the biggest climb of the day, a mighty 5% up to Astwood Bank. After a couple of bumps through Bentley it’s a broadly downhill run through Stoke Prior, Elmbridge and back home.

Start time is 8am and it is expected that we will be out around 7-8 hours once stops are factored in. Apart from the two stops there are a number of places on route if top ups are needed but carrying enough for 30-35 miles isn’t too much of a chore.

The weather on the day will have an impact so dress and prepare accordingly, tools, tubes etc.

Whilst every attempt will be made to ride as a group there may be situations where a rider might need rescuing, make sure you have the route downloaded. Please ensure you have an option to get home in the event of a mechanical. We will help as much as we can in these situations.

If it is your first century make sure you are comfortable with attempting the distance.
