LAST EVENT FEEDBACK REVIEW - 22nd March 2022
Three cafes, an impressive aqueduct, and beautiful views of Bath.
I’ve ridden around Bath lots of times but this took me to lanes I haven’t been to before so felt like I’d done something new. A really well organised and friendly event with wonderful sunshine – and a finishers badge! Katharine.

Two Tunnels event patch available for purchase for £2.00
