With summer well and truly underway, thoughts are turning to the end of season events - and in particular the Santini Cotswold Autumn Classic.

Growing in popularity every year, this event has fast become a must-do curtain call for the sportive season.

Starting and finishing in the town of Cirencester, the college venue means there is not only plenty of parking on hard standing for all riders – but hot showers and indoor refectory for the riders to re-fuel after their ride.

And if you enter the Santini Cotswold Autumn Classic before the end of August, you will automatically be entered into a prize draw to win a Belkin team strip (bib shorts and short sleeved jersey) from event sponsors Santini, worth £150.

With an entry cost of just £24.50 the Santini Cotswold Autumn Classic offers fantastic value for money – as well as the usual trimmings you’d expect from a sportive (a choice of three fully signed routes, very well stocked feeds, NEG outrider support etc)

All riders all receive hot food at the finish, neutral service support out on the course (provided by Performance Cycle) and a goodie bag from Santini.

Entry to the Autumn Classic is limited to just 600 riders and it’s already filling up fast – so if don’t hang about, get your entry in now and you’ll also be entered into the free prize draw. For further information, visit the event website www.cotswoldautumnclassic.co.uk.
