Didcot to RAL

Colin Blackburn said:

Does/has anyone out there cycle/d from Didcot Parkway Station to the
Rutherford Appleton Laboratories? The directions for driving assume I
want to use the A34 which I most certainly don't! The directions for
arriving by train assume I want to get a taxi. I can probably pick
out a reasonable route using quieter roads but I wondered if there
were any non-road short cuts or any cycleable side entrances to the
site. I'll be on the Brompton so I don't want to be too "off-road".

I used to meet a man regularly who did that, so It Can Be Done :-)

I note that others have given authoritative replies.

If you see a red Optima Stinger recumbent as you pass, do wave to the
rider...

I'll be on a green Brompton, but it'll only be the odd day or two in the
next month or so.
