Tell us about your weekend ride

Just got home after cycling Hackney to Oxford today, worked out about 77miles. Headed out through Richmond to Sunbury, out past Staines and finally onto the quieter roads around White Waltham, stopped for lunch in Henley. Stopped looking at the map around Watlington and Chalgrove as we remembered the roads from living in Abingdon years ago, got to Cowley Road in Oxford and stopped at the first pub that'd let us take our bikes in.
First long ride on the new Italian bike, seems I didn't do up the bottom bracket tight enough so it started unscrewing itself early on. Luckily made it to Oxford before it became too loose, but it meant I couldn't cycle home from Paddington station and had to get the bloody tube home.
Really nice ride once you're out past Staines, nasty hill at Patemore Lane followed by a piss-pants scary down hill just after, levels out completely at the end to the point you realise you've been climbing ever so slightly for the last 10miles, so the flat is a blessing all the way into Oxford.
We used this route, deviated a little bit because we couldn't be arsed to keep checking it all the time http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/London-Oxford

Sounds good. The bit inbetween 70-45km is part of my commute when I do it. The Drift Road between approx 38-35k is a nasty quite narrow fast road with dips and near blind crests that I really don't like.
