A hilly ride - do this inside three hours door-to-door and you'll know you are going OK.

• At Thame , take the A4129 to Princes Risborough.
• Go straight on at the second mini roundabout, up a hill then down again, then up to a hairpin bend with a little road leading straight on; double back round the hairpin to come out at the top at a T-junction.
• Turn right along the ridge, then left at the windmill to Lacey Green.
• After about two miles, turn right down a very steep, bumpy, narrow descent to Saunderton.
• Cross the A4010 back onto a minor road and follow this to the three-way junction at the foot of Bledlow Ridge. Take the leftmost road. From here there are two options. Either:
• Turn left again through The City to come out in Stokenchurch; then cross the A40 and down the very steep descent at Ibstone to Turville; turn right to return via Christmas Common and Watlington. This is about 70 miles, and would make a good clubrun in reverse if you could find a cafe in Princes Risborough.
• Alternatively the sixty mile variant keeps going steadily upwards from the three-way junction; turn right before Radnage, then left and right through Town End to eventually come down the steep hill into Chinor; then it is straight back through Chinor to Thame.

This ride could be improved, by lengthening it slightly, so as not to use the road to and from Thame twice.
