I've not done this one before and looking forward to it on what should be a sunny, warm day. How does this one compare to the Chiltern Hilly Hundred? They look similar on paper, but I'm wondering whether this will take more or less time on average than the Chiltern HH?

    The Chiltern 100 felt harder to me but then I only did for the first time this year and it was our first really warm day which I think made everyone suffer. I've done the Cotswolds for the past 4 years and been demounted by Cleeve Hill for the past 4 years. This year lighter & stronger I will overcome......

    I think there were more 15%+ climbs in the Chilterns. I counted at least 5. And less opportunity to get much rhythm.

    Cotswolds is a lovely route through so many picturesque villages. Enjoy.

    Chiltern 100 is harder in my opinion BUT COTC does have Cleeve Hill/ Bushcome which is steeper than any of the Chiltern 100 hills.
