Took one of BMMF's routes around the Chilterns off Strava and tweaked it. Was quite interesting. A lot of narrow single track lanes (much of it on the route I took to get to the loop, mind) and a bit of dismounting to go through gates, a dog going for me etc… I actually followed the loop the wrong way, then stopped at one point and forgot to re-start the timer so I'm missing a chunk. Ivinghoe Beacon is a lovely climb, mild gradient, nice and steady, good views. The nasty sharp little one at the end that I had to stop halfway up because of horses (and then struggled to get going again and clip in)… not so much. Think it was about 80km in the end, ~950m climbing.
