The ‘Cool Route’ is shortest of the four RIDE Castle routes at 56km / 34 miles, and is a beautifully scenic and predominantly flat route, apart from the last 10-15km where the gradient increases a little through Plaxtol and through Bitchet Green. Those newer to cycling may find this a good challenge.

Thoroughly recommend this event. Very well organised, and the sunny weather made it all the more enjoyable.
