New Oxford Ring Road!
We have a new ride out leader this month: Charles, so if you are brave enough to risk it, please be gentle with him. : )
Please arrive with full tanks, there is a Shell petrol station 0.25 miles from the meeting point at Loddon Bridge. We will decide on fuelstops by the bikes that join us.
Our route will take us on a far more interesting ring road around Oxford. Heading west to Shrivenham we will then turn north stopping at Burford about 1h50 later for a stretch and Starbucks if needed.
From here we will continue north to Radway and then turneastward, heading for lunch in Wardington at about 12:30.
After lunch we continue east past Buckingham and then southward to some great roads from Thame to Henley with a brief stop at about15:00, terminating at the Shire on the A4, which puts you in easy reach of both the M4 and M40.
Mostly A and B roads with reasonable surfaces however pure sports might not enjoy a couple of spots where surfaces could be better! But this is the UK….
