Not sure if there is something like this on here already but as I work most weekends I never get the chance to join you lot on rideouts and therefore don't know what routes you like to take.

Thought it would be a good idea to share favourite routes you like to take when you have a spare afternoon.

Anyway, here is one of mine

Has a nice mixture of fast A roads and windy B roads taking in some very nice Cotswold villages a stop for ice cream or a cream tea in Bibury is recomended.

I went some of that route on sunday, i like going up fish hill, im not quick but try a bit faster every time

I always tend to do this one too and from Nottingham, starting at Bassets Pole. due to university.

It's not a circle route, but you could always incorporate the best bits into a ride...

If i'm going for a long ride, i'll tend to go a bit further afield...

If you ever want company let me know, not currently working so have plenty of time. I quite like the a422.

i just most the roads between Telford and Worcester, but i think thats more border patrol area isnt it? or just head to wales as the border is so close to me.

the Fosse between rugby and Stratford, good flat out road (if you know it well enough)

The Fosse is a good road, looks boring on the map but has loads more bends than you think. I has the fortune to drive 25 miles of the Fosse every day to work for a few years. Some quite dodgy bits though, lots of hidden junctions and dips. Had tractors pull out on me on more than one occasion.

A444 up to M42, then to Tamworth a good road. Then Furnance end to Atherstone is a road of brilliance when its quiet.
