Oxford: The Watlington Twin Peaks

Cycling route in Cowley, England, United Kingdom

Great route. Two top notch hills in Aston Hill and Pishill, long, gradual and well paved hills. The flats sections are paved well (minus a few patches). Only downsides are some headwinds. The Descent from Adwell is always into a headwind - so much so that I cycle up it the same speed I descend it
