Like say the Bristol-Bath cycleway, but longer. Can be out and back.
Bristol, Bath, Bradford on Avon, Devizes out and back.
starting from where?
Without an idea of location the list of possibilities is very long indeed!
Umm, oh yeah 🙂 Well we live in Cardiff so somewhere not too far away by car.
Mrs Grips' sisters are all doing a 90 mile cycle event around their local lake in August, and she wants to do a similar challenge in sympathy.
Downs Link from near Guildford to Shoreham, there and back is about 75 miles. Add in a bit of North Downs Way and Blackwater Valley Path and you've easily got your 90 miles.
Although not from Cardiff 🙂
cardiff up to hirwaun is almost all traffic free with so minor road sections.
Train to Reading early in the morning, Kennet-Avon cycleway (route 4) westwards to Bath, catch direct train back to Cardiff.
Is that Kennet-Avon path all canal?
You mean NCN4 - it follows the K&A Towpath most of the way to Reading (87 miles from) but with the odd divert off on quiet local roads.

Bath to Devizes is all Canal yeah.
How about the Kennet and Avon canal path Bath to Reading?
OOPS sorry didn't read all the above before posting!!
K&A is looking good, thanks folks. I will be towing baby-grips in a trailer though and would be very nervous about doing so on a road. But if it's quiet and wide enough I guess its ok... 😕
Bradford to Devizes gets narrow in places but not 'fall in narrow', just stop to let another rider past narrow.
I wouldnt bother doing a Sustrans route
Hora says they are all rubbish, unridable and go nowhere
besides, you will get lost assuming you even find it in the first place as the signs are too small 🙄
