Does anyone know a good route from London to Cheltenham?

You could use the LOL Steam Ride route from London to Oxford - GPS lives here: http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/14-599/

From there, if you get onto National Cycle Network route 57, that will take you to Northleach, where you'd need to devise your own way to nearby Cheltenham, which is about 13 miles. NCR 57 is supposed to go the whole way from Welwyn Garden City to near Gloucester but is sadly incomplete and is missing the section between Oxford and Witney, so you'd need to get creative between those two points too, though it's only 12 miles. Sustrans warns that some of the route is off-road, but I've had a good look at Witney to Northleach and it's all lanes. NCR 57: http://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map/route/route-57

This place looks fun. Any interest in a ride there?

It is sometimes a little embarrassing when people haven't mastered the arcane art of setting dashes in the right places ... :)

(Does look great.)

Rep/gross.

I'm lost.

So it looks like the move to Hertfordshire is on, so I will be a proper little suburbanite. With that in mind, anyone know of any good 20-80km loops or routes around the Hitchin and Welwyn area?

Anyone have a good go-to route for South LDN → Whitstable?

Believe this is MA3K's, certainly from somewhere off the forum. Have ridden it and it's good:

Does that display alright for you? Seems like the embedded bit isn't working but if you follow through to the full route it should.

@lemonade thanks! Seems to be displaying OK for me.

I've been to Wheeler's, lovely stuff :)

Here's my Lewisham to Whitstable route as ridden with @madeinmelburn .
Goes over the North Downs which is less direct but far more pleasant. Pilgrims Way and Hollingbourne make this a lovely ride. Tried and tested.

can anyone suggest a better route that avoids traffic by adding a waypoint or 2?

would via wembley help?

You're trying to 'avoid traffic' ... in London? :)

as best I can :)

It depends where you're starting. You could come down further to the west and turn left at Ascot.

im coming from Cambridge so Ascot would be a massive detour. I only want to change the part of the route ive screengrabbed.

dont go via wembley for future reference

London to Brighton

Thanks for sharing this; I've based a route on this one to get me to Brighton tomorrow.

This was nice. On the return route go east or Ardingley resevoir, west of weir wood though and avoid crawley.

And thanks for posting this one up @skinny, hopefully it'll get back from Brighton next week. :)

bit of a long shot here, but has any one got any nice loop rides from south east london (nunhead) out into the lanes, probs north downs-ish, that would be ok on fixed. want to go for a ride with gf but our road bikes are in the shop, dont want anything to hilly! as i said, may be a long shot.. Ta!

I am also interested in this if it exists ^

The route of the ladies owl ride (and back) was north Kent but pretty flat, I'll dig it out when I get home.
