Tour de Bristol Routes - St Peter's Hospice

Explore the countryside

Choose from three spectacular routes that cover 40km, 65km and 100km, leaving Bristol from the UWE campus and heading into our beautiful local surroundings. Each route has at least one feed station hosted by the Rapid Relief Team where you can stop and refuel.

Our 40k route will head into the countryside and take in the small villages of Olveston, Littleton-upon-Severn and Alveston, while the 65k route will stretch further into Gloucestershire and toward Berkeley.

Go big and take on our brand new 100k route which goes even further, heading into Wotton-under-Edge and North Nibley to take in the best of the Gloucestershire surroundings and touch the Cotswold hills.

Please note that these routes are still being edited and updated, so may change slightly. The routes below will be kept updated and are downloadable onto Garmin's, and you'll be given a paper map on the day.
