116km gravel loop heading out west towards Windsor and following the River Thames and the Wey Navigation canal and then onto the Basingstoke Canal before heading back via the Grand Union Canal (Slough branch)
A big day out in the saddle and plenty of mud along the way but in the main it was a very rideable loop
