I seem to be de-facto organising this one over in the Other Place.
A more than slightly derivative overnight ride from Birmingham to the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire:
Meet at 23:30 in the main concourse of New Street station. We'll be following the Rea Valley cycle route to King's Norton, then climbing Primrose Hill and taking to the lanes. Halfway stop at the 24hr Tesco in Stratford-upon-Avon, then ride to the stones for sunrise. Continue to Banbury for breakfast and and abundance of trains.
108km of mostly rolling terrain, with two major climbs and a couple of flat bits. Good lighting and non-skittery tyres recommended.
