  • I've just used MyMaps to map around main roads and avoiding various places I think I want to avoid. Total 204KM (starting at Hampton, last place on the Shepperton line you can use Oyster). However I can't call this 'a good route' as I just made it up tweaking the default. If you want it you can have the KML (never heard of this format before but seems to be behaving just like a GPX on the phone app I have called Galileo Pro).

    I'm intending on using the paper directions printed and the route will be on Galileo for emergencies if I get lost. TL:DR I like words on paper like an Audax, not devices.

  • Thanks - I already found a couple I can steal off rwgps - e.g. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/24495034

    or
    https://ridewithgps.com/routes/574835

    but was hoping someone would have one they'd done that they did consider to be a good route.

    Funnily enough despite having done my share of audaxes and some paper route sheet following I am the exact opposite in liking a clear GPS route I can follow rather than having to stress about reading things on paper by torchlight...

    It's also totally possible I'll end up not doing it/driving the next day. I'm sort of assuming the weather will be good like it it's meant to be for the rest of the week - I really like night riding in good weather. If it's not I'll probably save the suffering for actual audaxes.

  • Cool. I actually only audax for fun never points, 200ks about my limit so I'm treating this as one of them, starting sparrow's fart on Thursday.

    Mine's missing all that Bracknell/ Reading / Newbury and picking out lanes south of that corridor. Hope I haven't made more hills for myself.

    Just re-editing the stoopid google written directions now to make it Audaxy. Niiiice.

  • Go for the top one, if you look to the right at the correct moment you'll see the room I lost my virginity in, although riding through Theale would be better than the bypass.
