A lovely 53km ride with so much to see and enjoy with 37km of cycle paths with Warmley Waiting Room opening early for Hot Drinks/Rolls.
Starting on the Bristol to Bath Cycle path you will pass along the Avon Valley Railway before climbing up and riding through one of Bath’s best-kept secrets and considered one of the Seven Cycle Wonders of the World – The iconic Two Tunnels @ 1.03 miles in length it is the longest cycling tunnel in the UK.
As you continue along the Greenway Cycle Path you will have fine views of the Cotswold Countryside and the Gothic Style Midford Castle.
A short climb up to the edge of Cotswolds before a Canal side cafe stop.
A short canal path section follows over the Dundas Aqueduct then a steady climb past the American museum before dropping down into the Beautiful city of Bath. Back onto the Riverside cycle path brings you back to Warmley for a well-deserved coffee and cake.

Bookings
Three cafes, an impressive aqueduct and beautiful views of Bath.
I’ve ridden around Bath lots of times but this took me to lanes I haven’t been to before so felt like I’d done something new. A really well organised and friendly event with wonderful sunshine – and a finishers badge!
Canal paths and climbs
This was my first ever Audax and I really enjoyed the ride. Although I know the Bristol to Bath Cycle path really well, I had only been on the Two Tunnels Way once before and I had never cycled on the hilly section from Wellow to the canal or cycled up Claverton Hill before. Glad I chose my more robust winter bike with mudguards as some of the sections next to the canal were muddy. We stopped at the Angelfish cafe for lunch which was a good place to stop – so good that we stayed a little too long and got back to Warmley a few minutes late!
Well Organised
Thank you Ollie for running the event. Not being a local or a GPX user ( too old to understand) on occasions I had to rely on the good auspices of fellow riders to stay on the correct route. However it was a fantastic day, great views , wonderful cafes and as I said very well organised
Thank you for organising the ride on Saturday. It was a great route and great to do some different roads and lanes that we hadn’t ridden before. Great views.
