Starting point




Oxfordshire
OX11 7NS

This is a longish route but split up by many stopping points (pub crawl on pedals)! Starting from Didcot Stn we use cyclepaths and quiet lanes to Milton then off road to Steventon (first stop) Up to Drayton then back off road to Abingdon through the town to our second stop. Out past Whitecross and Sandleigh then off road to Harcourt Hill campus descending into Botley (third stop) north through "Morse country" to Wolvercote (fourth stop) for a meal then we pick up the Oxford canal to take us into Jericho (fifth) cross the main road on to the Isis (Thames) for stops six and seven. Stop eight is near St. Clements then over Magdalen Bridge into Oxford town for a few more before catching the train home. Most bike types are capable of doing this route apart from super skinny lightweight racers
