The Elizabeth Line, formerly Crossrail, provides easy access to many cycle rides in the countryside around London. I’ll be adding new routes regularly. They will all be for any type of bike - no muddy off road routes!
Never Far from Maidenhead - 58 km
At just under 60 km, a leisurely circular ride starting and finishing in Maidenhead. With so many changes of direction this is a great ride for a breezy day because you are never left slogging into a headwind for long.
Two refreshments stops - at 20 km and 44 km. Options to cut the route short.
Twyford, Stokenchurch, Maidenhead
Starting from Twyford station, the route took me to a hot drink and homemade cake at the Ewelme Village Store before turning north through Cuxham to the A40 old Oxford to London road for a long but easy climb to Stokenchurch. It was then downhill through the picturesque village of Hambleden to the weir at Mill End. The route then took me on familiar roads passing the Velolife cafe at Warren Row before reaching Maidenhead for a train back to London on the Elizabeth Line.
