Attempting To Break The Fastest Record!

Adam Scroxton is back at the grueling Cotswolds 100 to try and claim the Fastest Known Time (FKT) after missing out by just a few minutes last summer. Armed with the Propain Terrel CF, a robust gravel bike built to withstand the roughest terrain, and a revised nutrition strategy, the goal is to beat the current record of 7 hours and 52 minutes. However, with recent heavy rainfall turning the technical climbs into rocky rivers and overgrown trails, this 100-mile figure-eight loop quickly turns into an absolute battle against the elements.
