The way points of this bicycle route:

Wallingford

Parking (if you need it) at the riverside or two shoppers' car parks near the Market Square.

Benson

Ewelme

Brightwell Baldwin

Watlington

Watlington Hill

Good old climb here. Very straight approach then a 12% sharp left bend. It levels off a bit, then goes up again. Look out for the beacon on the left - when you see that, you're almost there.

Christmas Common

Nice fast spin from this point on, wind permitting. Look out for the sculpture trail!

A40

This is the only stretch of A road, but it's wide and fairly safe.

Ibstone

A good descent here, with fantastic views across the valley

The descent gets steeper here and the road becomes narrow. Look out for the junction at the end as it appears suddenly.

Dolesden Lane

A nice little climb that gets steeper towards the top. Single track road with passing places, but a good surface.

Nice, quiet, single track roads with fairly good surfaces. Beautiful riding through the woods. Keep quiet and you'll see deer...

A few sharp bends here - keep your wits about you.

Sharp bends here

Turn up the hill - a short lung-buster

Lower Assendon

Bix Hill

Great climb on a very quiet single track road. Surface is not so good.

Bix

Cross the A4130 here - watch out, it's fast.

Shepherd's Green

Highmoor

Fast descent followed by a reasonable climb into Stoke Row

Stoke Row

Take the left turn signposted 'Checkendon'

Take the right turn signposted 'Equestrian Centre'. Watch out for horses.

Turn onto Berins Hill for a nice descent through the trees

12% descent

Very sharp left hander. Watch out for gravel on the exit from the bend.

Nice little climb to the Ipsden crossroads - keep it on the big ring!

Good single track road, good views (of the power station....) and road visibility. There's a 30mph descent down a valley here and you can keep it going up the other side, but watch out for horses!

Fast descent from here

Wallingford

Once you're done, there's food at Down to Earth Cafe on St Mary's Street, Wallingford, a couple of doors up from the Rides on Air bike shop.
