Christmas Common Long ride
(route)
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.

Christmas Common Short Ride
(route)
The Well Known X Mas Common Ride.
Can start the route either at the top of the hill in the nature car park, or at the bottom of watlington hill by the pub. Longer version of this route is good but is awful in the winter due to boggy ground.
