Anyone know what state this is in? Suitable for a drop-bar adventure bike as an offroad interlude between roadie sections? I've used StreetView to take a glancing look wherever it crosses a road (and it looks OK), but wondering what it's like in between...?
Yes, I rode the bit between where it goes past Shipton Moyne up to Crudwell Lane (just past Long Newton) on my CX bike a couple of months ago and it was perfect for that kind of bike.
Haven't tried any more of it but keep meaning to have a look.
Yeah, perfect for that kind of thing. If you were careful, you could ride most of it on a road bike...
Excellent - thanks for the info. Planning a big one-way trip down to Wilts from Warwickshire this weekend, and that section is pretty much on route, and will give me a break from the tarmac...
Yes it's part of my commuting route , done on an Coptic Escapade at the moment but previously on an alloy Synapse.
When I lived round there I rode parts of it on a road bike with 23cs. You'll have no problem.
Completed the 100 mile trip last Friday, including this section, all went fine, thanks guys!
