If you're not ready for the 70 km route through Witney yet, then this route is a nice alternative. The most interesting and surprising section is from Gosford (near Kidlington) through Water Eaton to Oxford. It's mainly a concrete road but for a few hundred metres you're cycling on a grassy track. It gives you that spring-classic feeling!

I will attempt this route sometime this month.
I'm really looking forward to more routes to be added!
Where's my photo credit??
Ha, I take it back...it links to my Flickr page.
BTW, I love that Spring classics feeling!!
First, thanks for this website! I now spend summers in Oxford and I've gotten some great ideas for rides from you.
Second, to anyone considering this route, you might want to add in a detour to the Roman villa (ruins thereof) in North Leigh. Google "North Leigh Roman Villa" to get location information. It's only about 2.5 mi/4 km round-trip off of the route.
