• I grew up in Cheltenham and had a pretty low opinion of it. Now I am boring and middle aged it seems nice. But Gold Cup week has always been a bit mad.

    Lovely cycling country round there - I rode my first century from there when I was a student, heading up to Tewkesbury and Upton, down the other side of the Severn to Gloucester and on to Berkeley, across to Lechlade and up to Burford and back through Northleach. 140 miles on my old MTB.

  • Race week is just a horror now, it's like I've been transported to to one of those exploitative 'documentaries' on Magaluf. I'm look forward to having to shoulder charge myself off the train again.

    Yeah great roads around here, sounds like a great ride, and on an MTB.
