Recommend me a Route to Birmingham

I've gotta scoot up and back tomorrow - does anyone have any recommended roads or roads to avoid from Slough area? A & B Roads preferred.

... if anyones got the day off and fances a ride ill be leaving around 10.30ish - should be back around 5. PM me.

if i had an engine that worked id be with you mate but as i dont i wish you luck

Yeah sorry to read that one - hope you get it sorted before the last of the good weather runs out.

You could take the A355 out of Slough to Beaconsfield then up to Aylesbury and across to Bicester.. Those roads are nice, fast A roads.. Then a B road up to Banbury then A423 to Coventry and A45 into Brum... Better than the M40 !

Would come along but work stops play..

if your going to bicester head up the b4016 (i think but im ****ed and probably wrong, its the thame to bicester rd and is f@cking ace, watch out cause about 1/3rd of the way is a proper nasty chicane but other than that all the corners open up wide and you can see where you are heading and its a great road, ask sosha, eviltwin or sarah, they will testify.

I'l;l testify to that too, but I will correct you its the B4011 I think.

Was a nice day yesterday. I missed your b4011 but I feel a nice set of roads developing here.

After leaving late I ended up motorway to Oxford and the Banbury Oxford rd which was rubbish - speed limits and boring.

After Banbury I turned onto the A422 - awesome road - through to Stratford-upon-Avon. After Stratford I was stuck in traffic all the way to Birmingham.

So on the way back I think I have cracked a great route. A422 from Stratford to Banbury to Buckingham - then onto the A413 through to Aylesbury - then our favourite roads back to the M40 - or vice versa. My updated map here if anyone wants a nice days ride up to Stratford. I think its around 200 miles up and return.
