Bike Events London- Oxford 3rd July Routing

Julesh said:

From the information in the Bike Events ride guide I can work out a
plausable route between Burnham Beeches and Oxford, I know where it
starts (its next to my local library) and that it passes my house in St.
Margarets, Twickenham (as I see it go past every year) but the bit in
the middle I can't work out.

I'm registered but haven't got my info pack yet. Does anyone know the
route this takes out of London?

only done it twice (and over 10 yrs ago) but would be suprised if it
has changed much from;

Gunnersbury Park- South Ealing- under the M4 elevated -Isleworth-over
the A4-over the A312 -Cranford-(sp LCN)-Harlington-Sipson-West Drayton-
Iver- Fulmer- Farham Common- Burnham Beeches etc etc

Is this in some strange order or a combination of the two different
routes? From Richmond "under the M4 elevated" has to happen before
Gunnersbury Park and South Ealing. If it is this ride which goes past my
house on the A3005, Isleworth then over the A4 over the A312 makes more
sense but won't have an Gunnersbury Park/South Ealing component - you
were you thinking of Osterley Park?

I said it was along time ago ;-) The short one (Pauline?) from Birds of
a Feather was sending us off, no it was definitely Gunnersbury Park, I
know Osterley Park, that is why it went under the M4 after S Ealing. If
it starts from Richmond Park now it probably goes to Isleworth then
picks up the route. I knew the route from Isleworth well, I used to
cycle home to West Drayton along it.

sorry, forgot to add it started from Gunnersbury Park

It starts from Richmond Green this year so presumably either up through
Kew, Gunnersbury Park and then west (and not past my house) or past my
house, Isleworth over the A4 and off West. Your route from Cranford to
Burnham Beeches confirms what I thought by looking at yellow roads going
the right way on my map so I'm sure that's right.

Thanks for your help

that's OK; never occurred to me that it would start sarrf of the river.
BTW it was the short one at Gunnersbury, Pauline Quirke was at Oxford.
After Littleworth Common it went once thru Wooburn Green-Flackwell
Heath and once through Cookham and Marlow. Any mention of a bike ban on
FGWL trains back from Oxford?

Thanks again.

I guess there will probably be a train ban - if anyone has told the TOC
that it's happening :-) or that the trains are limited to 2 bikes each.

Bike Events are running a coach service back at a bargain £18(!). I'm
doing this with my daughter so we getting mum to come and collect us.
