Cycling to granny's
This is one of my major goals for next year: cycling from Bath to my parents' house in Suffolk. Should be about 200 miles i reckon, so a challenging ride, never ridden that far before. Probably going to do it overnight too rather than trying (and failing) to do it in a day.
anyway i know the bit in south suffolk and i'm good as far as swindon but in between there's a huge swathe of the country that'll be completely new to me. i've knocked up what i think is a sensible looking route (attached) but if you live in that bit and you've got suggestions, i'd love to hear them!
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Hmmm attachment not opening for me, but if you're coming Chipping Norton way, there's tea and cake waiting for you
