@spag-hoops: for the London to Oxford leg we followed [ame="http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Richmond-to-Oxford"]Jonny's
%22%5DJonny%27s route[/ame] in the Oxford ride thread. Which was lovely.As for Oxford to Worcester, we just took the A44 since no other routes looked feasible. it was actually a really nice road and very easy to navigate! And it goes through Pershore.
@andy: Actually the first day was harder for me, since I failed to pace myself properly and had a bi tof an energy slump in the penultimate 5 miles. Next day we took it easy on purpose and felt a million dollars the whole way. Ate loads and had regular, infrequent rests. Having said that, the hill out of Moreton-in-Marsh up to Boughton-on-the-Hill (!!) was a cunt. Coming down Fish Hill more than made up for it though.
@the rest of you: next time I'll do it fixed, backwards, on a train, in half an hour.
Another observation - having luggage makes my bike slower!
