London Dynamo Cycling Club | Fairoaks Airport Loop Cycling Route

Tour of the Isle of Wight

The Tour of the Isle of Wight is now a London Dynamo summer tradition. After an early morning ferry from Portsmouth, the route goes anti-clockwise round the island, taking in the chain link ferry at Cowes, the steep climb up to the view point of the Needles and the fast but breezy Military Road.

Ranmore Special

The Ranmore special is an unusual HITR route – comparatively flat but with the eponymous lump in the middle.

Dragonfly Loop

The Dragonfly Loop cycling route heads west to Dinton Pastures Nature Reserve. On the return leg, the route ends up on the same fast return as the Windsor Classic Loop.

Hever Loop

The Hever Loop cycling route is a bit more challenging than the loop via Bough Beech. Instead of going south over Toys Hill and north over Ide Hill, it does the reverse. This allows for the exhilarating Ide Hill descent and, after a Chiddingstone stop and a loop around Hever Castle, climbing the more challenging north side of Toys Hill, and another great descent down Brasted Chart.

Leith Hill Circuit

This fast-flowing Leith Hill Circuit cycling route starts in Hampton Court before heading to Shere via Newlands Corner, before heading further south. It turns the corner in Leith Hill Wood before climbing Leith Hill from the south. After ascending to Ranmore common the route heads back to base.

London to Rye

The London to Rye one-way cycling route heads out over Crystal Palace and Biggin Hill, into the Kent Hills and beyond, taking a very picturesque route to the coast.
