Route
The route was generally very quiet and very attractive. We left Goring through a private housing development – where the road quickly became very rough. After this, the route went through open countryside (no hedgerows), and we had lovely views across Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Lunch stop was at the The Black Horse near Stoke Row – very lovely, though limited choice of lunch (baguettes). The roads were often difficult to skate, though there was also very limited traffic.
