Newbie on the site so apologies if this is not protocol but am looking for any wisdom anyone's willing to share on cycle routes going south from Reading.

Essentially I work in Fleet and live in Reading and am looking to start up cycling as a commute two or three times a week to re-establish lost fitness levels. I've done the whole online route-plotting thing trying to chart out a course that avoids the A33 and A327, as I have no desire to be dismembered by a 3 ton truck, and think I have such a route worked out, but, I'd appreciate any experiences/knowledge of any routes in this area that are bike safe and dont meander too absurdly!.

Many thanks for any wisdom/experience shared!

Hi Jonesy

searching on this site is best done via google
I used this " "cycle-route.com" reading to fleet " and got a few hits.
Also try the Hampshire and berkshire pages and search reading in the Hampshire page and fleet in the berkshire page. loads of reading hits in the Hamphire page. links below.

Another way is using STRAVA, you can get routes from people and friends that you follow.

I have found you can download the GPX routes from there.

There is another option as well, you can create your own routes by using

Just a couple of options for you.

Cheers
