A somewhat hilly circular route from Rushmere Country Park heading west then north via Soulbury and Stoke Hammond. A very short section off road (through a field track after Hollington) although this could be avoided by going via Bletchley Road/Whaddon Road/Newton Road.

(Mental note to reduce the target mileage post BST change in October as the light starts to go well before 4pm, meaning it can be a bit hairy with traffic on the narrow country roads).

Car parking £4 at the country park, where there are also options for refreshments. Unfortunately there is no cycle route between the two country park entrances (Stockgrove and Rushmere) which necessitates return via Linslade Road, turning a blind eye to the No Cycling road sign.

CALCULATE CALORIES

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
