How local are you? I'm in Reading and rode a lot of the trails in the Chilterns north/west of there. I imagine its a lot of that sort of farm track and assorted byways like here. Good fun if you like nice scenery and lots of miles.
I've just bought a cross bike so I'm tempted, although more likely to get the gpx and ride it the week before in peace and quiet.

I did it a couple of years ago with a mate, we were going to do the long loop but bailed and did the shorter one in the end as he was struggling with mud...
I'm thinking of doing the roadie one on Sunday this time...

I'm doing it with a few others. Cross bike. I've not done it before but I imagine it's going to be brideway/farm tracks for the off road bits. Starts to the South of Newbury so Wayfarers Walk/Watership Down might well feature.
If I get bored with the route I'll just ride back to the start on the road, I know that area fairly well.

Very but all my offroad riding is to the North East of Newbury, this goes South and West
Yeah the description mentions Watership Down and Comb Gibbet. I know the roads around there but not any trails. Might as well give it a go

You'll need more than a gpx as its this weekend. I suggest a flux capacitor!

This weekend? I shall avoid the south of Newbury
Probably know those trails well if it’s in and around the wayfarers. Shall check out the gpx later today.
