6. Charlbury & Woodstock - 26.4 miles

10. Hungerford & Lambourn - 32.8 miles
While this ride is only (only??) 33 miles long, give yourself a long morning & lunch to do it. It feels longer, it is hilly (with some hills that are, er, vertical shall we say?) and to really soak up the stunning scenery you’re going to want plenty of time. It is not one to rush, (your legs won’t thank you) but enjoy. The ride has it all and on a sunny day, is stunning. Two-by-two riding along quiet country lanes, empty tracks up on the soaring Downs and sleepy farming villa

11. Great Bedwyn & Marlborough - 26.5 miles
Yes its only 27 miles but honestly? Given the amount of rough and ready off-road it’s a tough one on the legs. Not to be attempted on anything other than a good mountain, gravel or hybrid bike. Even though much of the ride is just outside Marlborough, you’re going to be surprised by just how remote stretches of this are. On far-flung farm tracks, you may well not even find a tractor, let alone a person. With some quiet and pretty Downland villages tucked in-between, a lo
