    I start here:

    Hatton - village of 2500 in the middle of a bunch of fields

    and end up here:

    Just off Pride Park (Derby County ground)

    and the line going through the fields is the bridleway I keep banging on about:

    I go up the A200 from Greenwich, here's a rough route map

    http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2356173

    Unfortunately there are roadworks on Evelyn Street at the moment so lots of traffic in the evening commute. Also there are these coaches by a company called New Enterprise (I think) whose drivers seem to love blasting past cyclists as close and as fast as possible. I've had a couple of near misses from them on London Bridge and on Tooley St :evil:

    Asheridge--->Chesham, S.Bucks.

    It may only be 3 miles in. But it's as many miles and hills as I want on the way home.

    That's a truly lovely part of the world, if you like hills (or stopping at posh 'pubs'). I'm Princes Risborough-based, and work in Oxford, so - while I entertain dreams of doing the 40 mile round trip someday - I usually combine car and bike for an 8-mile round trip.

    But really, Knight2k, you should post some pics of your commute to make those city dwellers jealous (unless they be scared of hills in that there London) :wink:

    Is the bike a Coventry Eagle? Whatever, I like it!

    Used to live in B'wood. Do you go up to Shenley as if you'e coming from the M25? Used to run down through Shenley, left at Harper Road or whatever it's called, left into Radlett and left again off that high street up the hill and through that lane which brings you out at Tesco then back through Shenley to B'wood.

    Failsworth to Royton [Oldham] dodging potholes, craters just about anything on the way.

    13 miles a day round trip with lots of climbing, oh and did i mention rain and crosswinds ??

    Still keeps your legs like pistons..

    OL9 is Chadderton, Royton and Shaw are OL2!
    Can't argue with you about the crosswinds and the bloody rain though!!

    Over the years my commutes have been;

    OL2 to M3, Royton to Manchester City Centre
    OL2 to OL4, Royton to Greenfield
    SN6 to SN3, Shrivenham to South Marston

    and now it's 13km each way between 6064 (Kerns) and 6371 (Stans)
