Just ridden the Cotswold Cross 200 on Wednesday from the CTC Birthday Ride site organised by Steve Poulton and enjoyed it.
Plenty of main roads and rather busy B'roads, but didnt really bother me.
Quite flat out through Banbury, Bicester, Woodstock, Faringdon, Lechlade and Cirencester. Then up the Whiteway on to the Cotswolds proper before dropping off the other side into Winchcombe.
Nasty, nasty climb out of Willersey in the last 12k being the only tiime I had to use the inner ring and then another shorter, equally steep climb after Batsford.
Surprised that the ride took me almost 10-hrs, but having to obtain till receipts from places like Tesco, Woolworths with long queue's.
Very lucky with the weather as well which just got better as the day progressed and no rain at all.
