+1 for that, all excellent (but v. v. busy on Sundays with carbonfire mamils. Soz if that's you. Remenham Hill. Phew. Climby :) )
Alternative at Stonor (a left hook just before the park gates) is a good (harder) climb up to Russells Water and is less well-trod (rode?), as is the climb from Assendon up to Bix (steeeeeeep) a left hook way before Stonor but on the same road out.
Then once you're on the top, loads of options - either right-ish to Watlington / Berrick Salome and then down towards Benson and the cafe on the Thames, or left-ish to Cookley Green either via Christmas Common or up the Pishill climb, and then along to the top to Nettlebed or down via Swincombe into Ewelme (fab cafe there) and then back across Ipsden / Stoke Row / Checkendon. Lots of good pubs, not many shops. Loads of single track also.
Well-testing climbs (all 10%'s ) for an old git like me from the Marlow / Reading road up via Hambledon towards Skirmett Fingest / Ibstone / Turville if you're inclined (no pun intended) but such reward...

@moocher If you head up out of Henley towards Pishill you can head past Stonor Park and then down some country road quickly back into Reading. Another way out of Henley would be up Remenham Hill for a nice leg tester ultimately back through Twyford towards Reading.
