I' m mega unfit but up for a pootle.

Some good routes nearby and if you pedal a bit further you are in the chilterns proper.

Loads of good routes round there. You're going to be on the scarp slope of the Chilterns where all the best riding is. Get an OS map and enjoy.*

I live in Goring just down the road, if you want to get out at all drop me an email. Also speak to Neal at Trailjunkies he knows the area very well, as mentioned is rather boggy and sketchy as **** in places! Cinnamon girl should be along soon too , she, I believe knows the area well

Yep, loads of riding, go from Watlington most weekends, either road or off road.

Sorry meant to say my email is in my profile, you'll also enjoy buzzing the Williams factory which seems to be past time of the Merlin and puma pilots ๐Ÿ˜†

A group of us ride in Oxford on a Tuesday night & Chilts or further afield most weekends. Drop me a line if you want to come along sometime. My Mum's got a place in Benson by the river. Nice area.

Benson has always had a good bunch of cyclists there. There will be more than a few mountain bikers inside the wire who you'll find quick enough.
