Cheap weekend away?
So i've used up all my holiday days at work but i'd still like to get away on the bike for a weekend somewhere, I'm just not sure where!
Can anyone reccomend a destination that's good for riding in, has nice scenery and is close(ish) to Oxford? I was thinking South Wales perhaps? I'm hoping wherever I can go I can find a cheap hostel or B+B for a couple of nights and get lots of riding done in the day. Any ideas?

Hay on Wye, gives you access to lots of scenery and nice roads. You can give yourself a scenic run at it from Oxford and as they have the book festival you should be able to find plenty of B+B accomodation.

Re: Cheap weekend away?
what i always thought would be fun, is just making sure i had enough money and just getting on the bike and going a direction and seeing where i end up at the end on the day, chances are there will be a B&B or hotel local to where you end up.
well thats what i would do anyway.

Avoid Wales, it's full of welsh people and things that are laughingly refered to as policemen

South Shropshire
 Anywhere south of Shrewsbury is good, the area around Ludlow is simply fantastic.

Re: Cheap weekend away?
Cotswalds are pretty and some nice roads too but i doubt you'd find cheapish B&Bs, can be a bit pricey at times.
