Length of route:

29 km (18 mi)

Suitable for:

Cycling

And:

Thrill seekers, Off-road

Details:

Similar to the shorter version of the X mas common ride but over time i have extended it slightly for a longer ride.

The route runs over the M40 which gets very boggy in the winter months, but there is a beautiful piece of singletrack that runs around sunley wood/Sprig's Alley which is well worth the slog up Crowell Hill.

You drop back into the normal x mas common route until the slight variation into the firewood at the end, which is a nice alternative to road riding back to the pub.
