| Quick blast round the lake, signposted, simple to follow, nice training loop, do the loop a few times to increase fitness! | |
| Landmarks/Pubs for lunch/Sites to see? | |
| Grafham Cycles start and end of the loop so any repairs or bike tweaks you want doing, this is a good loop to test, although the terrain is manmade and "green" route quality, i.e. very easy, but as I said, its a good training loop! |

| Nice route after loop x 3, a lot of flies on north side of water. | ||

| A dire piece of cycling experience! Route takes you well out of view of the Lake for most of the trip, bar occasional glimpses. The midges are unbelievable all aroun the route but especially bad on the North side. Mouth, nose, eyes and ears full of the blighters and unavoidable as they swarm all over the path - literally trillions of them. Avoid like the plague! | ||

| Completed the circular route (x2) today (Saturday 15th October) and it was a delight. No flies, midges or any other insect. Nice leisurely ride in bright sunshine and clear blue skies. Just a couple of fairly easy going hills to contend with, this route is not difficult. | ||

| Nice for a Sunday afternoon with anyone apart from very young kids or a complete novice. Nothing challenging at all for an experienced rider, but still a pleasurable ride. | ||

| Loved this route. Mix of easy routes through Forrest land, a few steep(ish) hills, but for a mountain biker - very technically unchallenging. About 90% off-road with just a short time on quiet country roads with almost no traffic. Costs £3.00 to park weekends and £2.00 during the week so take some £1 coins. Route mainly a mix of families, walkers with dogs and the occasional MTB going at it on a training session. I'm new to biking, but as a place to bike off road (don't even try it with a road bike - you'll need at least a hybrid), it's been great. Handy having stops where you can fet a drink and a hot pasty at the end as well. Highly recommended. | ||

| Beautiful views of the lake from all different angles, wonderful wild flowers in August, lots of birds, nice picnic sites and plenty of places to stop, pretty easy going but the occasional minor hills, interesting going through fields, woodland, villages. A bit stoney and bumpy in places for narrow rims (mine are 16mm), but just about managed OK - some stretches are tarmac. | ||

| It took us around 84 minutes just to bike around it! Very nice bike ride though. I liked the woodland paths | ||
