Routes
RoutesThe holiday is a self guided holiday allowing you to explore Oxfordshire at your own pace. We know the area very well and have put together some recommended routes in GPX format which allows you to download these to most GPS enabled devices, and with certain software, to your smartphone. These will be sent to you once you have booked your holiday with Love Velo and each file will be titled with a short description of the ride and the distance. If you would like to see the profile of each route, we recommend that you download the files before your holiday and open them with a GPS viewer such as this. We also have our routes in PDF if you prefer a hard copy.
Emergency Assistance
Emergency AssistanceIf you choose not to have a guide, you will want to know that your bike is in great condition and that you won’t have any mechanical problems during your ride. Our bikes are extremely well serviced and maintained but in the very unlikely event there is a mechanical issue with the bike (not including basic maintenance such as slipped chains or punctures), we will provide you with an emergency number for someone to come out and repair or replace your bike.
Great Bike Hire
Great Bike HireThe bike you will rent to explore Oxfordshire is a touring Dawes Karakul or Gazelle Chamonix. If you would like, you can upgrade your bicycle to a mountain bike if you want to spend more time off road, or a road bike if exploring the country lanes. Choose from either a Kona Blast mountain bike or a Kona aluminium road bike and have a GPS fitted. The bike comes with cages and a tool kit for puncture repairs.
Essential Bike Repair Equipment
Essential Bike Repair EquipmentYour bike will come equipped with essential tools for you to repair a puncture, replace an inner tube or fix a slipped chain.
