As part of my training for the Dunwich Dynamo, I'm riding up to the
in-laws again (I get a lift back!) Last time I took a wrong turning at
Kidlington and did an extra 6 miles, but it should really be about 90
miles.
The worst bit is going through Oxford, especially the Kidlington road on
the way out, which has a crappy pavement/psyclepath which passes about
500 driveways and 50 side roads where you could meet instant death - so
I ride on the road where drivers won't give you an inch because you
"should be on the psyclepath". You'd think they'd be used to bikes in
Oxford, of all places. Unfortunately there is no obvious detour to
avoid the place, unlike Milton Keynes which I can just about skirt
(Stony Stratford and Wolverton).
Here's hoping for a dry morning and a roaring tailwind, and I've been
promised roast beef for lunch :-)
