ehm.... We're talking about one line, right?
I better go and start planning this!
Here's some more information for the others who feel like planning for this complex challenge.

Aha, but there's all sorts of strategies that come into play there. Do you have to finish at your starting station or the one before it (and if the latter, which starting station will allow you to miss out the longest stretch)? Do you dash out at Edgware Road and hop onto a H+C train? Is there a mad run you can do, like Farringdon to Blackfriars and then back onto the Circle line in the opposite direction?
The possibilities are... well, not endless. Maybe 20 or something.

Wow, I never knew that the Circle line could offer such a cornucopia of possibilities. I'd suggest that you had to use the Circle line all the way (and not get off) and finish where you started. Then you've done a complete loop.
Obviously you'd do slightly better by going anti-clockwise, and maybe by starting at one of those synchronising stations.
Farringdon to Blackfriars sounds fun!
