The ride leaves Tewkesbury and heads first to Upton-upon-Severn, then crossess the southern end of The Malvern Hills through Ledbury. Continue along gently rolling roads to Leominster. Passing through numerous sleepy herefordshire villages and hamlets, crossing the River Wye at an old toll to Hay-on-Wye. The next stage passes through The Golden Valley, and onwards to cross the River Wye again near Goodrich - entering the Forest of Dean at Kerne Bridge. The climb to Ruardean rewards you with views of much of the route already enjoyed, before rolling through Cinderford and on to the afternoon control in Cinderord. Final section is a quiet cycle ride out of the forest, and on to the penultimate control at Newent, Finaly the route makes it way along the Severn vale to arrivee in Tewkesbury.
