The route to this excellent “Cycling Mecca” can take many forms, from as little as 25 mls to get there, have managed once at 50 plus one beautiful summers morning, you can also take in the Brill lumps if you like to add to the variants. So Swan's you need to plan a head (much ground baiting!) to stay out a bit later as its going to be plus 50 miler, so 1 pm earliest to get back to Buckingham.
Why Mecca I hear you say on a good day it can become very busy with casual cyclists plus clubs like the Bossards, Thame, Wycombe, Mid-Oxon, Bicester, Reading to name a few. Plenty of in-side seating, excellent choice of cakes, teas & coffees etc. and the gardens on a sunny day are a good resting place, both sides..
