Tutor: Steve Kendall. Distance: 46.5 miles.
A gentle start through Hartpury, Tirley and Apperley; through Tredington and on to Gotherington and Gretton where the road gets narrower and twistier, and then into Winchcombe; and finally down Corndean Lane for a 5.7 mile stretch of narrow, twisty roads with blind brows and bends, tree cover, adverse cambers, broken tarmac, gravel, mud, manure, low-flying crows, suicidal rabbits and horse riders. Excellent!
