Short Cafe Rides

Short (under 20 mi) routes to cafes in the Chiltern Hills near Goring. These are all circular routes, so in some cases could be made even shorter by returning back along the outward route.

Cyclists have an affinity with coffee and cafe, so you will find more short (and not so short) cafe rides in the Le Great British Tour de Cake, a book published by the indomitable Heth Miller from Streatley.

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.
