• A bit of necromancy here but would like to do a London-Oxford daytrip; have done it once before and recall quite a nice route through the Chilterns but would prefer to stay off the towpaths out of London (followed the one going through Maida Vale); @NopePrint might you happen to have a route you could recommend?

  • There’s a route on here that goes from Richmond and round the back of Heathrow, out through pinewood and iver Heath and drops down to Marlow before crossing the chilterns. It’s called ride to the dreaming spires or something and I can’t find it! I’m sure someone can. Nice route

  • London-Oxford daytrip

    I rode to Oxford recently, few tips :

    1 - Barefoot bakers near Jericho make exceptional Cinnamon Buns.
    2 - the Up in Arms near Marston do some lovely beers and Pizzas.
    3 - Just past University Parks in the meadows you can go for a dip in the Cherwell which is gorgeous.

  • I can share a couple of nice routes from reading out to oxford, local stomping ground!

    In Oxford, if you want ice cream then G&Ds is the place to go. Either in Jericho (North/central), St Aldates Street (Central) or Cowely (south) depending

    And coffee: missing been on Turl street is good. Or Handlebar Cafe for brunch (had an advantage of having a bike shop linked if you need anything!)
