Hi,
Just reading the last issue of MBUK and there is a route around Cheltenham. Will somebody here has a gpx file of it? - Bikeradar used to put their routes on bikely but they don't seem to do it anymore. And i don't have access to Viewranger.
Thank you people from STW.
Where does it start?Not read MBUK for about 10 years they always use to do the routes the wrong way around.

personally to that impressive a route but it is what it is.
Looks Like some fairly brutal climbs in that, I may download it and give it a go. Load of road sections as well.
At least 50% road and I can't see much interesting in the way of descents considering some of the brutal climbs (Aggs hill is damn steep). Oh and there's about 3 spaces where they tell you to park so get there early.
I'd give the loop a miss unless you're here for other reasons and very bored/masochistic.
The downhills at Leckhampton above Daisybank road carpark are great though if that's more your thing..
Thats a 4/10 ride for me - you'd be better splitting it into a cleeve hill loop and a lecky/cranham loop
Yes it has pretty views, but too much road as ^

Thanks everyone. I've been to Cleeve Hill before but I never explore around Leckhampton Hill - I was going to use their route as a "template". The article did mention that the rules were relaxed regarding MTBiking and as long as you are sticking to the paths, you can ride pretty much everything.

This is pretty much true, but bear in mind that's it's a very popular spot for dog walking, families out for a walk etc etc, so, you know, don't be a dick...
