LOFOs August 2nd ride out.

[nick crisp]

At Cheltenham could we not look at the b4632 over to the A44?
Seems a shame to be so close to 'fish hill' and not include it!

We could. I've just got back from checking most of it, and it took me 5 3/4 hours. A couple of extra stops to check the map, and a bit of rush hour traffic in that. I would think that an extension to Fish Hill would add at least 1/2 hour, maybe more, plus I didn't do the complete loop starting from Eynsham. Anyone coming from east of London might find it a bit of a trawl if we start adding too much more. I still need to adjust the western leg a bit, as the route I did around Chippenham to Devizes wasn't great.

Generally, a very nice route. Starts with a bit of dual carriageway to get to Burford, but the Charlbury bit is very tight and technical. The first half of the route swoops up and down and round on the Cotswold hills. Salisbury Plain bit is quite fast, and the A338 has a couple of nice twisty sections. I think you'll all enjoy it!
