Anyone else looking at this and thinking it would be fun to have a crack in a single day? No, just me then... Also, the article says it's easy to get to as "it's on the Elizabeth Line". Believe it or not, there are some people in the UK who do live outside of the M25.

Hold on, what it actually says is: "Reading is served by Great Western trains from London Paddington, plus the Elizabeth Line, making it easily accessible by public transport." You could be coming from Bristol, Penzance or Cardiff and you're on the main line

It doesn't say that though. It says trains from Paddington.

Yeah, they should probably have mentioned Great Malvern

As I get older the longest I really want to ride in a day is about 50 miles but there seem to be plenty of people on here who are mad for the longer distances. Fair play to you, you bunch of splendid weirdos.
