Overview
Description
Head off over the Severn Bridge into Wales. Descend Star Hill on your way to Raglan and Abergavenny for the first control. Head east back into England going north of the Forest of Dean and cross the Severn to Tewkesbury. Vale of Evesham is up next as you make your way to the Heart of England and Shakespeare country. Collect your second proof of passage at Stratford upon Avon before heading south on the well used Greenway then on to the Cotswolds passing Broadway Tower. Follow the ancient White Way to Cirencester for the final control. Make your way back to Bristol on easy roads near the upper tracts of the Thames, before back off the Cotswolds.

What others think.
Well organised ride with welcoming controls
I was grateful for the 7am start and the cycling routes in Bristol to clear the city before the morning commute began. We were made welcome in Yatton.
There are wonderful countryside vistas on the way to Westbury. The towns of Marlborough and Malmesbury are very attractive. The ride back to Bristol seemed to be a long climb into the wind, while the descent into Bristol on cycle routes was sheltered. We arrived back at headquarters where Will congratulated us for finishing.
I will do this ride again next year
Lovely mid-week adventure
The weather gods smiled on us again as we rolled out of Bristol on the Shifty 200. A fantastic ride with easy controls and a varied and spectacular route. Many thanks Will for helping us busy weekenders out with this mid-week special!
Greate Route, Magnificent (and superstar) organiser
A tough day > night > day ! Made to feel very welcome. Incredible how much time Will gives to organise the events and put himself out to help others. Thank You !
Great route and faultless organisation
A series of midweek events is perfect for those of us who struggle to get away at the weekends and I’m hugely grateful to the organizer. The event ran just as smoothly as you’d expect based on the user friendliness of this website and the route was great – challenging without being daft and lots of smaller roads through an area of the country that I was not as all familiar with. Route cards and gpx were spot on, as was the friendly welcome on my return to the hq. Weather was dreadful, but you can’t have it all! I’ll be back for more later in the year ?
