Hackney to Oxford, via Clapham Common, Teddington, Sunbury and Henley. Pushed the pace but felt great. Two short stops at 2h and 4h meant a total time (including stops) of exactly six hours.
One big hill (200m climb out from Henley, up to Christmas Common). Three other smaller hills, but a pretty flat route overall. It was also nice and quiet, generally, with only a few short stretches on busy roads once leaving central London.
Really pleased with the pace, I was on my own so went for it. Considerably faster than my commuter pace, and 15 times as long.
Lovely and sunny and warm, think I'm now sunburnt...

Paddington to home. Felt pretty bad actually - the lack of food and proper hydration probably didn't help. Jelly babies helped though.
