Bike Oxford change the route every year and this year it was in the direction of my home. Nonetheless, they found roads and sections that I had not done before and laid on a very good route. The aid stations were very well stocked with very friendly people (and bike mechanics if you needed them), and clean and nice toilets. And as always, the finish area had a real party feel with food and drink, places to sit and socialise - and the opportunity for pictures with the finish medal! I would say definitely worth doing this event. Jen Z
