MTB Epics are passionate about off-road adventures on bikes.

We bring challenging and exciting, long distance off-road cycling routes with a relaxed vibe. Our routes have been well-researched and ridden to include every type of trail imaginable, from byways and bridleways, single and doubletrack, trail centres, Sustrans bike paths, woodland, moorland, urban and more…

What are the Cotswolds 100/200/300?

These are multi-distance MTB/gravel routes that have been created with the purpose of linking the many fun descents this area offers. 

All the different distances start at 9:00am on the 19th September 2025 from the Boathouse pub in Bath.

Starting in the city of Bath, the routes heads north into the stunning Cotswolds AONB, which as many off-road bikers know, is such a great area to ride.

The 200 & 300 routes cover the full length of the Cotswolds area there and back. This isn’t a regular ‘there n back’ route though – the return leg is on an entirely different route! The 100 route makes the turn at Painswick where there are lots of camping options for the overnighters, or you can push on for the 50 miles return to Bath. 

Riding through Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire and back again, the many highlights will include some of the best off-road biking trails found in England. 

Not only is the riding superb, the views from the Cotswolds escarpment are fantastic too – especially looking west across the Severn valley towards the Black Mountains and the Malvern Hills.

You will encounter a huge array of trail gems over the different distances,  taking in bridleways, byways, singletrack, woodland, urban and surprisingly a fair bit of purpose-built MTB trails..

But beware! this is a tough route for bike and rider, with a high technical aspect in some sections and many steep trails, up and down, laden with rocks and roots..
