Ride Over the Edge 2026

Sunday 27 September 2026 | Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire

Ride Over the Edge returns to the beautiful Cotswolds for 2026 — a non-competitive cycling sportive designed to showcase some of the very best road routes our region has to offer.

Starting and finishing in the historic market town of Wotton-under-Edge, you’ll have three carefully designed routes to choose from, each offering stunning scenery, rewarding climbs and that unmistakable Cotswold charm. Whether you’re chasing a personal milestone or simply riding for the joy of it, this event is all about great roads, great company and a great cause.

Riding for a Reason

In 2026, at least 50% of all funds raised will be donated to the life-saving work of Great Western Air Ambulance — helping to provide critical emergency care when it’s needed most.

When you ride, you’re not just taking on the Cotswolds — you’re making a real difference.

The event is registered with British Cycling and organised in line with their Guidelines for Non-Competitive Events
