Hi All,

Coming back to cycle commuting due to a job change, TBH I have been rolling out of bed and jogging a mile to work daily so the new commute of ~15 miles is gonna be a blow.

**I have cycle commuted in London, Bristol, Milan and Rome, so, not a total noob.

So, I need to get from Uxbridge to PAddington Basin. Google says; Canal towpath all the way - 15 miles, do not pass go and do not collect £200.

My head says, road it - A4020 almost all the way....but I might get killed.

Any good advice on: route, what the Canal towpath is like and if I am likely to be mugged?

Thanks!

Not very likely but it will be deserted in places and remote from 'public' areas.

The more pressing concern is the sketchy nature of the path, it is a footpath not a cycle track and has plenty of obstacles.
