A nice route from Oxford to the edges of the Cotswolds. There's some fantastic scenery of which the road through Wychwood Forest is one of my favorite.

How do you plot this, get the elevation and post in this way?
I could fill a workshop on that... Main ingredients are GPS, GPSVisualizer website, KML file knowledge, Excel, Google's fantastic maps, etcetera
Fantastic ride - it took me two days to explore the route as I got very lost on the 1st day and took the S3 bus back home after 50 miles!
The church at Kiddington is nice-take a hard right up the single track just as you enter this village. The forest is indeed beautiful and watch out for the monkjack (muntjac) deer, one almost landed within my spokes!
Thank you for the wonderful blog - I spent many happy hours on the saddle exploring these Oxfordshire routes.
Best,

Hi Paul,
I'm glad you had such a great time in Oxfordshire. Thanks for your comments. Nice to hear when people are using these routes. Sorry to hear you got lost though :-)
great ride, didn't make the few metres of off road near kiddington as took a wrong turn but otherwise kept to route easily. thanks for your hard work in creating the routes for all to share. kate and nick
Hey McHoen. I stumbled back on your blog because I was looking at my photo of you in this post, and spent a few minutes reminiscing about the routes around Oxford. As you'll remember one of my favourite roads was the little farm track between Cleveley and Radford, on this route. It also has the classic segment out of Leafield (I recommend the Church at Leafield) through Cornbury Park, and the road out of Crawley (past The Lamb). You could also fit in the side track in Gosford, on your way back into Oxford…if it's still there…but maybe it's been developed since I left Oxford. Brill, Christmas Common, Old A40. Miss those rides!!!
