Training and Fitness

Short loops suitable for training and fitness that can be fitted into a regular exercise schedule. At just under 10 miles, Catsbrain and Gatehampton is the longest road circuit one can do from Goring without using an A or B road outside the village. It’s also quite hilly for its length, making it great for fitness training. If you want a 20 mile ride, just do it twice! The Twin Peaks ride of Streatley and Whitchurch hills is not for the fainthearted, as both involve quite busy B roads.

Click the column headers in the table to sort the rides by name, type, distance or climbing. The climbing is presented as the number of feet per mile averaged over the ride, to make it easier to see how hilly the rides are compared to one another.
