Ashbury to Lambourn B4000
Lamborn to Childrey B4001
Childrey to Wantage B4507
Wantage to Newbury B4494

Can you tell I like technical B roads more than fast A roads

The B4494 Newbury to Wantage. If you have never done, DO IT. It's very fast in places, very technical in others. And the road surface is always changing. Gravel, wet, slippy. Blind bends, hidden dips, over crest rises. It is also quite well known as a dangerous road and several bikers have never come home after riding it. But so long as you treat it with respect and expect a tractor to be round the next bend, you should be OK.

Riding it both ways is like riding two completly different roads.
